I don't know that particular kit, but how much more would the real
Stihl parts be? They have a stellar reputation for a good reason,
I'd hate to bolt something on to it that would degrade the
high quality saw.

I just picked up a used Stihl 029 chain saw with new chain, but low
compression. It runs, but the compression is low due to the scratched
up piston / cylinder.

Has anyone used one of these aftermarket culinder/piston kits:

The price is right, but I'm wondering if the quality is up to par with
the original parts.
