Taking A Close Look At A Meteor Top End KIt For The 372XP

[Mastermind]

That WB looks NICE!!!!

You always see the little things in muh pics.

Hi Randy!

Now we need them to produce inexpensive, quality Husky 1100/2100/2101 cylinders. Then there's the vintage North American saw models. I know.....dream on...

I like pie too.

Ummmmmmm pie. :msp_biggrin:

Randy, will you be offering these kits as kits, or are we going to have to send you our saw for install?? Ive often thought of buying a kit, sending it off and then installing it myself. What kinda work are you going to be doing to them??? How Much Money????? and BTW NO rubarb, but pumpkin pie is where its at. oh and blueberry!!! No nasty ruhbarb puke-barb

Hopefully they meant 298

Ready to bolt on with the squish set at .020 and the ports cleaned up will be about 200.00. You install....gaskets and seals included.

Hopefully they meant 298

395XP was what they meant.....

Is it stock bore or "big bore", well either way it would be big bore on my 362xp.

Is that going to be feasible knowing the different deck heights that crankcases have?

Yeah .020 might be a bit tight on certain units. I've cut squish on many jugs for folks without any issues....but as you know....there's that one unit.......

That could probably be dealt with by including say, three different thicknesses of base gaskets. That might muddy the water for some of the population though.

I'm gonna sit this saw by the wood pile in KY and let everyone try to blow her up. Hopefully we will get some good feedback.

It seemed fine.

Just wanted to say this is certainly a good idea you had.

.....

The kit for the 372XP comes with a 371 single ring piston so we know someone is listening
to us "chainsaw gearheads".

.....

Two or one ring on those always was about EPA version or not, not anout 371 or 372.

There are lots of one ring 372s around, just not in the US. :msp_wink:

That's pretty exciting stuff there Randy. I'm looking to build a 372 and the thought of saving shipping both ways to a builder is nice. I know these won't be full on ported cylinders, just "Blue Printed" as you called it.. but they've got to be a bit better than stock or am I missing something?

Which means little to me sitting here in Tennessee.

I really like this idea too Jimmy......it would be a great way to update a 362 or 365 to 71cc and have a ported saw in the process......

The scary part for me is those guys that think a new top end will fix a saw with an air leak.

That is a scary thing. I do a good bit of small equipment repair for contractors which includes concrete saws, two stroke tamps, etc. I am always amazed that they bring them back 6-7months later and complain that the carb is clogged again or smoked a cylinder, etc. I cringe when I send one back out, not that I question my work, its the untrained operator and conditions. As with top ends, Why did it fail? Age, seal, straight/low oil mix? Find that first, then install the new top end.

Good luck and I hope it works out well for you!

Stock bore (50mm).
