Sold NOS Husky 2100 Thin Ring Piston

[blsnelling]

For sale is a NOS thin ring piston for a Husqvarna 2100. Included are 4 new rings and 3 spare used rings. This is a 56mm piston with 0.6mm rings. If I'm not mistaken, it will also fit the 2101 and 1100. One circlip is missing. I'm asking $199 OBO. BTW, this item is also listed on eBay.

Don't see many of these around. Super deal with the extra rings. GLWS Brad.

Will that fit into my 445?

It fits in a 395

Well..........

Same bore but the crown height is wrong. No point in wasting an expensive NLA piston (that's the wrong height, and would need to be cut) in a 395XP when the OEM slug is available for 1/2 the price (and the Meteor 395XP piston kit is 1/4 the price).

This thin ring 1100-2101 piston should be used in an 1100-2101 series saw (imagine that). Now if Meteor would just start cranking out some $50 1100-2101 series piston kits...

Ok, I'll agree that it should be used in an 1100-2101 saw since they need it, but you could cut the piston for a popup/domed piston in a 395. I read someone else did it.

Pop-ups aren't the best way to go about things when you can lower the base an achieve the same results and have a readily available replacement should the piston fail.

Good piston to put into a 394/5 to cut the chamber .040" and then set the squish.

Wouldn't compression end up way too high? I had something like 210 with a popup piston in a 395.

Not really. Depends on where you put the exhaust. Durand did one with a 2101 piston and it was 200~ or so. I can't remember for sure.

Hmmmm

Hmmmm

Squish is usually .040-.050" with a gasket. Shave .030 or so out and use a gasket and bingo. Higher compression and thin rings. Maybe I need to quit talking now and just buy it[emoji12]

I'm hoping to end up with it for a near-new/NOS 2100 I'm building.

It's met reserve on the ebay auction, so I won't be looking into this any further for my 395. Interesting possibilities though.

 

[HuskStihl]

Booooo Hissssss!

Edit: congrats on the sale
