Hyway vs meteor piston and clylinder kits

[Tothemax]

Looking at rebuilding a saw and I was wondering which kit would be the preferred one to go with. Looking at longevity and performance.

I vote for Meteor, as close to OEM as you can get. YMMV

I use either or, both good quality imo but do prefer to use the meteor piston or a the least use cabers on the Hyway piston

Looks like that hyway kit includes caber rings

Another vote for Meteor kits for rebuilds.
Interestingly the Husqvarna OEM kits are about the same price as the Meteor kits, so in that case I use OEM.

whatevever you prefer but the main thing is what made that saw take out a piston, before I even take down a saw completly I presure vac test a saw to see if there is any problems that did or you will end up with anothe blown top end, the saw that came in last week, a 372 was operator error, running the hell out of it on a hot day with a crappy chain, bottom end checked out perfectly and wasn't done that long before.
