Source Stihl 038 super piston and cylinder kit

[raumati01]

I'm having trouble finding an aftermarket kit for this, NOS is more than I want to spend but I cant find and aftermarket kit with a brand name [tecomec, meteor etc]on it which doesn't fill me with confidence. Magnum and standard 038 are pretty easy to find in comparison.
If you've had any good experience with an aftermarket supplier let me know or if you're one of the sponsors and stock them and I couldn't find it on your site I'd be keen to support you.

Cheers, I did yesterday but he's out of stock.

He may be able to get me possibly unless they are discontinued like the tecomec 028 kit. You may be stuck with used.whats wrong with your original cylinder?

 

[jughead500]

If it looks scored it may be worth saving.

 

[raumati01]

Its wearing through the lining and theres a couple of small chips around the intake port.

 

[jughead500]

Ah ok.no saving that one then.pencil holder.

Should mention its my first rebuild so I'd sleep slightly better if I stuffed it up and wrecked a $100 kit over a $269 oem kit.

 

[jughead500]

Ill keep my out for a tecomec kit.

Tecomec 038M kit. A little time with a dremel/file and it will fit a super

I thought the bolts on a magnum didn't line up? If it's a fairly simple swap I'd be up for it.

 

[jughead500]

Probably just have to file the cylinder bolt holes out a bit for it to fit. probably not super simple may take a little time but definately not hard.

I have a good running 038 Super that I'm doing a mag conversion on. I'll have the P&C available in a few weeks.

PM me for details if interested.
