    Acquired blown 2 saws
    Can't really find a reasonable option to rebuild them

    Any suggestion ?

    Assuming "blown" means scored, you can usually get away with cleaning up the cylinders and replacing the piston. There are aftermarket pistons available for both on eBay.

    You'll need to figure out what caused them to score, but fixing these isn't an issue.

    You might be surprised what can be made serviceable. Let's see some pics.
