After Market Pistons

[bmp01]

Yet another seized 2 stoke. ... ?

 

Out of these two piston brands, which would you go for,  Hyway (China) or VEC (India)? Price is more or less the same, I can't find a Meteor...   L and S also do one but it's a no name piston. 

I'm leaning towards VEC but for no good reason. 

I'm hoping the answer of which brand might be useful to people here but I should state the piston is for a Makita concete saw DPC6410.

 

And yeah, split impulse line probably... 

 

Thanks for any input.

Read this below on Sawbits webpage advertising an aftermarket piston, but confused me when BMP01 posted china and india built in his earlier post?

Probably a typo on the listing - ask the seller, seems pretty good and has always been responsive if I have ever had issues!

As above. 

Sawbits - M Jones - goes by the name of tesgol on e bay. His listing there is consistently VEC, origin India and no mention of Hyway. He must have hundreds of products listed - easy to make a gaff when cut 'n paste and editing. .... or maybe he changed source for that part. Worth an ask. 

 

Genuine piston price? ... about what I paid for the 'spares or repair' concrete saw in the first place?.  Barrel has cleaned up ok 2 scores but not deep. It's getting an after market piston and liking it (for personal building project use) or its going for bits.

Vec are India made and I rate them highly, fit and finish is excellent, I have rebuilt a number of saws with them, with no issues!

I bought a no name piston from mowers and co on ebay a couple of years ago, 12mm gudgeon pin for my 044 just to see if it would go again and it's been running fine for 2 years now. I'd have gone for a Hyway probably if I hadn't thought I would be doing the saw again with a piston and cylinder kit but it's pleasantly surprised me.
