Which Top End Kit to purchase for a 036 Pro

[Outback1]

I’m looking at Meteor or Highway Top End kits for a Stihl 036 Pro. Both are closely priced just need some opinions on which to purchase?

Meteor. They seem to have a better overall finish in my opinion.

If I had to go aftermarket I’d definitely go with meteor. Personally I’d look for a nice used original cylinder and a new OEM piston, but that’s just me.

Depending on price id go oem and get it ported

Are you sure the oem Stihl cylinder can't be saved? Pictures?

Meteor on mine several years ago and it still runs great. I did delete the gasket
