Husqvarna 570 and Murphy's Law

[ZeroJunk]

Well, I thought I would do my neighbor a favor and get his 570 back running after it was straight gassed by some mystery person in the middle of the night.

But, apparently nobody believes they ever made one 49 MM .
I already have the cylinder slick enough for government work, but no piston.
I saw an OEM on eBay for $168. But, for that I'd just put a Meteor top end on it.
Any ideas ? Thanks

Here you go, oem for cheap.

Yeah, those 570 pistons are STEEP.
I have one that threw the 1 ring locator pin.

Well crap, I missed that one. Already bought a Chinese top end. Just as well maybe, the original cylinder had some damage above the ports so like new compression would not have been possible. I'll have $65 in the saw plus my time which is worthless. So, if it pukes so be it.

If you need it, I MIGHT have a good OEM top end around here somewhere if I can find it. IF I can, pay shipping and its yours. I KNOW Ive got a good cylinder, Im just not sure what I did with the piston.
