[Gentleman]

@Gentleman, Bruce, I thought I read who the manufacturer is with this insignia, but can't find it. Any insight?

Quality is good, ports are shaped nicely, no bad casting miscues.

Easysaw. Used 2 in 2xx huskys.
They're great..

Had not bought any in years. They had a lot of issues back then. Maybe they have worked it out by now. I could give them another chance. How is the plating and ports?

Exhaust roof was a little flat, but may have been ok. Plating and casting looked oem

This is after base and band were cut. Squish was .050 without a gasket though

To me NWP kits look and measure identical to HyWay except for the black paint. So far I've had 372BB and 395BB kits side by side, no difference.

Even down to the seems inside the transfers? I found this thread trying to find who made NWP and if they are any good. A picture I saw suggested they might be different from Hyway, but I still wondered thinking not too many people make a 58mm 395 BB.

Don't know what brand they are but they're sold on ebay by Vostore company. I've bought a few and they're high quality and haven't had any trouble with them plus they're in the US and I can get them usually within a week..

Vostore cylinders look good from what I can remember, but I was able to just peel the cylinder plating off a 660 big bore. They should be good as long as you don't pick at the edge of the plating and peel it. I don't know if heat cycles and flexing from a piston running along it would wear it loos from the cylinder over time.

Is that a Huztl? It looks like it to me (shiny finish on the intake and squiggly line in the head).

No. Made in Taiwan by Hairun. Runs well and has decent plating. It was included in a box of stuff so I thought I’d try it
