Well, I haven't made a decision yet. But, I did price the the factory piston kit from Shindaiwa at $81.06. The Golf Piston Kit from Curt is $30. I emailed him and asked him what his experiences with them are and what he thinks of them - here is his response. "I have sold aftermarket pistons and havent had a complaint as of tonight. Hope I am not jinxing myself but thats fact. I like testing what I sell and I have alot of local loggers that use saws on a daily basis, I am replacing pistons and jugs for these guys (one of each that I have). Not replacing more than one of each that I have, but I am able to test accurately of the quality of the pistons and cylinders. As of to date, I am satisfied in these. If I start getting complaints, you will know because I will quit selling them. I will stand behind the aftermarket items as I do
anything else I sell as far as satisfaction guaranteed." I almost want to try it and save $50 - but with Freakingstangs bad experience with the AIP piston in his 066, I am hesitant. Come on guys, convince me one way or the other.
