I measured a NOS 084, 088, and a 880 piston.........all the same.

Not done yet.......close, but not quite finished. Remember, I was doing 4 jugs. :(
 
Mastermind: 185-190 psi compression? Anymore makes too much heat?
Diesel fuel should work good as a fuel instead of gas then.....

My logging buddies ran their 088 on diesel for 20 mins one time after the gas bar attendant accidently put that fuel in their saw can.....

Saw even smoked like a diesel....

Not quite as much power but it ran 20 mins with no issues.

Then they smelled the can.....
 
I ordered you a new piston this morning Keith. It will be at the dealer tomorrow, and then will be sent on the me. I should have it in hand by the end of the week.
 
They are boxed up.......ready to go.

The used jug is as slick as I can make it. The piston drops in with no resistance at all. The only thing that could be an issue with it is if the plating tries peeling above the exhaust. I don't really think it will though. Keep an eye on it for a few tanks........and keep me in the loop.
