I have 2 Stihl 034's that I'm putting together and need some suggestions on piston/cylinder matchup.
I have 2 good OEM cylinders and 1 good OEM piston. The 2 cylinders are both 034 46mm but 1 has open ports and the other closed. The 1 piston that I have has open windows through it.
I'm wondering what cylinder you'd recommend matching up the good piston with and what piston I should buy for the other cylinder. I found an old thread talking about windowed vs. non-windowed pistons but couldn't find any non-windowed ones in my searches. Also I assume the windowed piston would match best with the closed port cylinder and if I can find a non-windowed one that would go with the open port cylinder? How much does it matter? Am I overthinking it and should just order a meteor and put them both together?
