I have one of these to rebuild. Don't know crap about these things.

Are you going to massage the ports at all? If yes, I would say OEM is obviously best, but I wouldn’t mind using a Dukes kit. If you are just going to run it, then perhaps meteor would be ok.

I think the best bet is Meteor. I wouldn't trust a chinese cylinder to fit together as well, but I have never used any 390 cylinder kits.
I get it. I put one on a friend’s 290. With a little port work, muffler mod & timing advance, it was a respectable saw.Got one of those. Thank you Greg. Customer ain't interested in buying a top end that cost more than the saw is worth.
All this Chinese/Taiwanese shít is starting to make Tecomec look really good. Shame

Fixing chainsaws is expensive, there is a point where parting a saw out is more viable than rebuilding.Got one of those. Thank you Greg. Customer ain't interested in buying a top end that cost more than the saw is worth.
What are You doing wasting Your time on a fried clamshell for?!
Not that its any of my business, but I still wonder.
It is either OEM quality, or AM questionability - either way keep in mind Your customer will hold You responsible for the saws overhaul.
I am no longer messing with other peoples saws, this very last one was a 3 months dragged out mess (parts out of stock) that still needs financial sorting.
Anyway, good luck!
I have had favors backfire at my expense, that may make me a little grumpy on the topic.Fixing it as a favor for someone.
Cross performance??
Out of stock.
