This cylinder kit will work on the Husqvarna 281 and the 288 54 mm bore.

This kit is as good as OEM

I Cannot say the same for the other kits you may see else where as most come from China.

The piston rings are made of steel with the right properties to give a good seal and are long lasting.

The pistons are cast from a 18% sylicon aluminium alloy and are heat treated and CNC machined for a prfect fit.

The cylinder is coated with nickel silicon carbides, which gives a longer service life.

AS always I only sell what I would use in my saws which I use to cut wood to heat my house with.

If you encounter any problems along the way, I am here to help you through it.

This 288 cylinder kit for the Husqvarna 288 or 281 includes 54mm cylinder kit, wrist pin bearing ,base gasket, carb gaskets and exhaust gasket.

I also include a work shop manual via email.

To avoid this happening again, use fresh premium gas which is less than 60 days old. Use an oil mix rated FD and a gas can with a tight seal. This will insure the least amount of water dissolved in the gas and the most lubrication possible.
