Husqvarna 238 piston options

[Pincher]

Question for the husqvarna experts. What piston will work in a 238? I also would like to know if the transfer on the exhaust side can be removed the same way as a nikasil plated cylinder? Acres site specs calls it a chrome plated cylinder.

I rebuilt a 238se last spring and used a piston for a 338xpt. The piston requires a few modifications to work and the crown height is slightly lower but a base gasket delete gets the squish clearance back into a decent range.

Just for reference this is what a new 338xpt piston looks like.

Thanks. I used a oem piston right from my dealer. It wasn’t cheap but we didn’t really have any other options
