oem 254xp piston vs meteor...

[cobey]

Can't find an oem price
The meteor I bought the other day was
38 bucks what should I get?

 

[cobey]

Btw I have 2 saws that's why I need another piston

Oem 254 piston is NLA in US.

I have both new oem and meteor piston at home, but it will take me a bit time (a few days) to compare them.

 

[Tor R]

Oem piston cost ruffly 2,5 time the price of meteor piston in Norway.
Only reason i bought one is because i have one mint 98 jug

 

[cobey]

Mainly didn't want to overpay
I paid 38 with free shipping.
I got 4 caber rings for $10

 

[Tor R]

Okey, I understand now.
I bought mine from Greece, 27$, he is probleby the cheapest dealer in Europe.
I bought a few cabers also, paid slightly over 4$ each.
If it wasnt because of shipping cost I would bought from one of the members here or the owner of this forum.

Edit, updated my post

Iv used Meteor pistons a few times with most satisfactory success. I believe they come with a Caber ring as standard ( i think )..however the quality has been very good and tolerances like OEM. They have a rep over here ( UK) as the "go to option " other than OEM.
Golf are not so bad ether..have a Golf piston with a Caber ring in my Day to Day 42 special with some port work .

Yes, Meteor pistons come standard with Caber rings.
