I know that at least a few of you have already replaced pistons in your 242xps. I tried searching, but didn't uncover any photos, so the question is did your replacement piston have windows? Was it OEM or what aftermarket brand?
I revived a 242, and the piston in it, I'm assuming OEM, had windows. The replacement Meteor that I have does not despite being labeled 242/242xp. After making sure the saw was going to run OK with the cleaned cylinder and piston, I thought it might be a good idea to replace the piston and reduce the squish. Now I'm still wanting to close the squish, but am wondering which piston is going to give better results.
