560xp woes

[si0797]

Hi all,I have 3 560 xp all with buggered engines,pot n piston gone,pretty pissed off with them!anyways,I would like to repair them and find that the replacement engines are crazy money,any used or found cheaper ones?

Has anyone had the same issues and what did they do?

Thanks all!

Spud Cleaned the cylinder up and used a red barn Piston with a oem ring on my 560.

Is the bottom end intact , you can get complete short blocks for around £200 from memory.

What are the red barn parts like, I found their site recently and was thinking of gettin pot n piston for 550xpg as they are reasonably priced (compared to huskys own) but what quality?cos there's a lotta s.... out there,

Spud would not use it if it was pants .

The piston was good but I will use oem rings and circlips just incase they are brittle not that I have any reason to believe they would be but just out of caution and peace of mind but the Saw is still going.

Meteor stuff is good but I don't think they are doing one yet for the new huskys.

I would give it to spud mate to find the fault ,He's also very good at salvaging cylinders and Pistons too if it needs them.
