A new top cylinder cover would also be needed. Click to expand... I hadn't considered that, it might be a good answer for me and the OP. My saw is an early 10mm, would the muffler and everything match right up?

You should be good to go, but 10mm wrist pin will make finding parts a little more challenging as compared to the more common 12mm format. I did however spot this when looking around: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Meteor-cyl...244621?hash=item2a9dc0304d:g:lkkAAOSwstxVEF2C

Is there any reason I can't use a 12mm type jug with a 10mm type piston, or is there any difference in the piston other than the wrist pin?
