I thought I would start a thread on a 2165 I'm putting together. I'm open to any suggestions. I'm going to be putting a 372 top end on it with a 268 popup piston. At first I was going to try a 266 piston I have but I think I would have to raise the piston skirt a little on the transfer sides. So I decided on a Farmertec 268 windowed piston and I cut a 1mm popup. I also have a Meteor windowed 268 piston on order but for now I'm using the Farmertec one.

Two year's on my ft pistons i like themView attachment 728121no issue's at all good runner's
I used caber rings though and a oem wpb.
I've got a 268 Farmartec piston cut flat in a 371 and so far I havn't had any problems. I've changed my mind about the 268 piston and decided I'm going to try 266 until the Metour piston gets here. I havn't found any threads about using a 266 piston and I'd like to see how it does.
 
I now know why the top cover is so hard to put on, the 2165 uses a smaller filter than the 372. Cheapest I could find is $25, at least I don't have to spend $90 on a 2171 cover now.
You might find that the top cover goes on and off easier without the recoil in place. It's kinda tough getting that black extension piece tucked in behind the recoil if you're not used to it
