Red saw lover
To start, I've already ordered a Meteor because this saw will get sold once repaired. I got to looking at the piston and thought if I were keeping this saw, I would probably try the piston. The rings were still free, and none of the scratches can be felt with a fingernail. The damage came from the crank bearings, which both have some play. There is no visible damage to the cylinder. I lightly sanded with 340 grit and scotch brited it. I've been curious lately what would run with damaged and cleaned up pistons, and what wouldn't.
