I have 346 buy it in 2015 brand new, used few times (6-7tanks),saw is last started in 2017,i get dessision to maintain it, because it sit like this for long time.. Carb set, fuel line, filters... Then I remove exhaust to chek and is appear to have way too much deposit for just few tanks... Oil i use back then was Husqvarna XP 50:1...then I find piston actually meet the intake wall, and i I disassembled the entire saw, full inspection of everything, crankshaft, bearings, bearing beds in the crankcase... Everything is perfect... I already change bearings and seals... Cylinder is in almost new condition, no scratches, nothing... Friend of mine who work on jdm tuning messure cylinder and plate in it... Everything is OK... And still piston touch it somehow...
What I should check more? Did someone face that? I am really curious what caused this or just saw is defekt somehow from factory?
I am into dessision to buy new OEM Mahle kit, because I can't find just OEM piston or to buy only Meteor piston and ring... I am open to advice

As the others have told you, that piston will work fine. We use a phrase over here "Send it" It means you are good to use what you have...
