So..... Bought a compression tester and tested the 036. It was at 90. Which definitely isnt good. I pulled the cylinder and piston and put the new meteor piston, rings, and cylinder on with a new gasket. I also got a new compression release. Tested out compression with the new stuff and got 150...... I think once the rings seal it should bump up a little more as well so im happy. Got it fired up and runs great! The chain on it is shot. So need to get a new bar and chain for it then do some more tuning but this saw is pretty strong.

Thats awesome! Glad to hear that it made such a big difference for you. Run it like you stole it to break it in, and that should help the rings seat. I know you had talked about trying to swap the longer bar off the 028, but I would just go get a new setup thats 3/8 and let her eat.

yea I will be on the look out for a 20" bar that is 3/8, .50 for this.

I think I will just leave the 20" bar on the 028 for now. It actually is kinda nice for limbing.

Ok so cut about a cord of wood today. I was using the 036 for a while and it was cutting pretty good and was pretty strong considering the chain is trashed on it. Then grabbed the 028 and OMG!! I can't believe how much more power the 036 had. Its been 3 weeks or so since I used the 028 so I was thinking they were pretty close to each other power wise but once I used them side by side it was night and day difference. Cant wait to get a good chain for this thing next week.
