Check ebay. I got a piston & cyl. kit for the same saw from a guy that was factory Mahle parts for something close to $65 + shipping. He had several P&C sets for sale for various saws. I didn't think to ask about a 039/390 P&C until after I bought the 029 parts. IIRC he quoted me $100 for the 039/390 parts. I looked at my ebay history but couldn't find the sellers name. Hope this helps.

cylinder kit.
I have checked and still am checking e-bay, there are currently two, one new for $110 usd + shipping which is $34 usd ( I am in Canada. ) the other is an open bid and used, seller saids 140 # compression no scoring but you never know with e-bay. Thanks for the help.

Doug,
Are you thinking about a guy who used to trade under the name ls_quindos ?
I remember him, he sold a lot of genuine parts at low prices.
I have him saved in my favourites and he has changed his handle to y-not-7-2006. Hasn't traded since July.

Actually i don't know that ebay name. I was thinking cheapstihlparts. I bought a new cylinder kit from there for my 026 and when it came the top ring had rust on it. Most feedback is good so i guess that may have been an isolated incident but ya never know with ebay.

Yeah, that was his name. I couldn't think of it before, but now seeing it I remember. Thats too bad. I thought he had great prices for genuine parts. I did have to wonder about his parts source to be able to sell for that cheap, though.

Bryce is real easy to deal with. If you got a ring that has rust, ask him to change it...
ls_Quindos worked at the factory (Mahle) that made the pistons and cylinders.. Hmmm...

Agreed. I've bought and sold to and from Bryce several times. Met him face to face as well. He's a straight shooter.

I think that this guy is fine, like i said, i think this was an isolated incident and i'm sure he would have replaced the part but being me i just buffed it down, there wasn't any pitting so i was good to go. I know when you have that much on the go it's difficult to monitor all items. I would certainly buy again. His prices for the genuine Stihl items are excellent, i just am not to fond of the shipping cost which average five times as much as the US, but then again i am in Kanuck land.
