If I owned those saws. I would be slapping these on as
replacements for sure when needed.
You run yours yet?

What I have heard is that the Meteor cylinders are cast in the
far east, and then finished and platred in Italy. I don't know
for sure if it is true.

That's interesting. Did some research and there are quite a few
piston and cylinder casting companies in the area surrounding
the address where the Greek Dudes company is. Wouldnt surprise
me if that was the case. Casting looks very nice
I'm curious if Gilardoni is still producing saw cylinders for
husky/stihl?

They couldnt put Italy on that cylinder could they if it wasnt
cast there right?

You could well be right - as I said, I was not entierly
convinced by the "story" I told.
Yes, Gilardoni (still) are.

I bet it varies by which model cylinder it is?
