MS361 clone

Anyone buy one of those Farmertec MS361 build kits? I did and
all I can say is Chineses quality control isn't a concern of
theirs.
Cylinder casting and finish was OK but the piston I wouldn't
use. Will post pictures later.

Only thing I have noticed is the beveling on any of the
cylinders is pretty poor. Pistons have been fine here. So fine
when I pulled a 466 down I left the stock farmertec piston in
while putting on a oem D shaped cylinder.
But I also believe the kits dont get the best parts put in them.
JMO. I still think the better parts are used in the prebuilts.
Just from what I noticed on the FT FB group from folks buying
kits compared to prebuilts.

Went back to look at the cylinder and sure enough the
chamfering is bad. Who do you recommend to re chamfer?
I gotta tell ya this Ms361 is going to be one complex build as
there are no instructions to what goes where,etc. may have
bitten off more than I anticipated.
The stock piston weights 66g,pin14g, Meteor73g and pin 13g, The
webbing to strengthen the pin boss is far superior in the
Meteor and the clearances for the pin roller gage is also less.
no go on images,can't seem to post
