Measure the compression, one pull should be circa 75psi and then around 170psi after 6 pulls. If it is considerably lower, there is wear. The first pull can be quite indicative of issues. 346XPs often feel low on the handle!

If low, roughen the bore lightly with a hone and fit a new Meteor piston, it will last many more years.

What type of hone do you use spud? Have you tried the ball hones?

The flex hones ( ball hones ) are excellent tools, the bores come up like new, and any aluminum transfer is taken away, it also leaks a nice cross hatch in the cylinder, you need to invest Steve, only issue is you need quite a few different diameters.

You just need the bar and chain if you've already got a .325 setup.

 

I have a 346 with a .50 speedcut bar and sp33g chain and I think its impressively quick. The cut is narrower so chain speed stays high, easier sharpening as there is less metal. I guess they do wear quicker as there is less metal to take the wear. The sp33g is semi chisel, so you may prefer chisel.
