We feel there are 2 problems that affect aftermarket parts in general but especially cylinders.

#1: Tons of them are made wrong, and sold retail by people who have no idea what they are looking at or how to test it, so the customer ends up with a part that doesn't work. We have tried and regularly use everything we sell and screen every cylinder we go through personally for problems, so we don't have that issue. We have literally recycled hundreds of incorrectly made brand new parts here over the years in our screening and testing of new products.

#2 Most aftermarket parts are sold directly to consumers, not to trained dealers who are knowledgeable about servicing the product. For example, say your top end got scored because the carburetor is set too lean and your fuel filter is plugged. Many consumers who would just buy an aftermarket top end kit and throw it in to fix the problem don't know enough to troubleshoot and fix the underlying problem. So, the new parts score again. Then the untrained consumer blames it on the new parts, and the aftermarket parts gain undeserved bad reputation. Be sure to correct the problem that caused the top end to score in the first place!
