    I'm attempting an engine rebuild. Where's the best place to order a piston/cylinder kit?

    If it’s a saw you’d like to make right, then go OEM or higher quality AM like what’s posted above. The cheap eBay kits are inconsistent... but fun if you’re into saws. They probably require a little work to make them last (port bevels, better rings, etc.).
    I’ve used a few Huztl kits and have rebuilt with oem.

    Yep I agree ... we’re i to do any saw work for hire ... I would insist on oem or I simply wouldn’t take on the job ... the cheep price sounds good right now but down the road after the saw Grenades I wouldn’t want to be dodging the rocks that the customer is throwing at me !
