Caber Piston Rings

[GASoline71]

Anybody ever use the piston rings made by Caber? I'm eyeballin' some for my 028 Super re-ring.

Coments/throughts/critisisms?

Gary, I'm pretty sure they are the same rings used on Meteor pistons, I've had no problem with them.

Seem to be decent rings. I'm running them in a saw or two, no complaints. You can get them either from Baileys or that guy in Greece.

I have got them from the guy in Greece. Takes forever in shipping, but so far I am happy with the rings.

I do not know anything about Caber, but I like the quality of Hastings. I have had no problems out of their rings. You do have to file them to proper fit.

HAHAHAHA! It was a freebie... I'm gonna put a 32" bar on it with full skip chain.

Northwood Chainsaw (site sponsor) has them...

Thanks for the input guys!

I like the Caber's that have come with the Meteor pistons. They are supposed to have a carbide grain structure that wears longer or somethingeruther like that. At least they don't tend to snap when installing like some others...

Freshened up some 090's with them!
Seem to be pretty decent.

I have 6 saws with Caber rings, in combo with meteor or Nwp (Baileys) pistons. They are top notch IMO.

It all depends on what oil and what ratio you're running.





Sorry, I just had to.

Good to go MANG!

I put three of the them in different saws Husky 261 Jonsered 2045 and 2150.
Bought mine from the guy in Greece. No problems with the rings.

ha ha ha ah ha ha.

I haven't had any problems running them in my personal saws or in saws I have rebuilt for others.

However, I along with most of the others in the thread, don't put a ton of hours on a saw per year cutting up personal firewood...but I doubt their longevity would be an issue.

They've been making rings FOREVER.

THEY ARE METEOR.

Kewl you'se guys...

Here is the piston and cylinder from the 028 Super I got for free. All tore apart and in a 5 gallon bucket...

Intake side:

Exhaust side:

Looking in the cylinder at the exhaust port.

Guy I got it from told me the P&C were junk. Hmm... look okay to me. So I figgered a set of rings just for kicks would do the trick.
