Decent source for AM piston/cylinder kits?

[gary courtney]

Likewise for my country, shipping costs and parts are exorbitantly expensive and sometimes parts are cheaper from China, would I put OEM parts on a saw?, every single time but the costs to do so generally are prohibitively expensive, my local Stihl dealer wanted to charge me $50USD for two seals for a Stihl 044.

Thank God for my Stihl dealer. I just bought a 10 mm piston 4 $60 noticed on eBay they were 95

Our dealers here just gouge the prices.

Seals come in the gasket set and cheaper than seals alone.

Don't worry I'm sure one of the OEM or bust crowd will send you a OEM cylinder and piston for free......

Hard to find for 024, as 024S and 026/260 are different strokes

When I looked last week, the cheapest one on ebay was $65. Add another $65 for a meter piston kit, and that put me in the $130 range which was more than I was willing to spend on a "disposable" set of parts that I may very well end up destroying. At $35, I'll give it a shot. I'll probably still buy the $20 Farmtec to butcher, I mean practice on

Doesn't really seem to matter as neither Hyway or Meteor makes a 42mm cylinder for an 024. Cheap aftermarket seems to be the only option for this saw.

I did not know that . TU btw there is an oem 024 cylinder in good shape on e bay rt now for 65.00 if needed
