But as I been told you can put a 10mm cylinder on a 12mm piston. This is a very desirable option, giving best of both worlds. Also some early 12mm cylinders had the 45° fins. Hope this is of some help, I've been looking for a 10mm saw for some time, I'll find one eventually  ;)

Yes, you can run a 10mm cylinder on a 12mm saw, but it aint gonna run like it did on the 10mm crankcase. Case volume!!

I was wondering about that and flywheels, timing  etc.

If anyone is looking for a 10mm Meteor piston kit, I have one.

There is a slight factory defect in it however.
During the manufacturing process, particularly the locating pin installation, the piston was not indexed properly so the locating pins are technically on the wrong side of the piston.
I was going to run just a single ring (top), but after speaking with Meteor directly, they decided to let me keep the defect and shipped me a new piston.
I cleaned up the casting flash in the windows and opened em up a little.

Yes, flywheels are heavier on the 10mm saws IIRC. I believe timing is the same however.

Christine looks pristine laying there in the grass like she is ready to go.
