Wait til you see how clean the air box/carb cavity stays.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Everyone likes a clean cavity.

That reminds of a guy I knew in jail........

But I don't wanna derail Bob's thread.

Hmmm, 1/2 year and new shortblock..

 

[Spike60]

Cool! I was hoping we'd get a short block for the new saws. No price in the system yet, but I hope it's priced similar to the 562 SB. ($106) Looks like they beefed it up somewhere with extra ribs or whatever, which is why we are getting it early. And there's a new guide bushing; the 2 pins you set the gasket on when assembling the crankcase. That can't be the "beef up" area? But this is the best way to go labor wise for when saws get crunched or in the 562's case, burn up a bottom end. Wish we'd get a 372 SB, cause the new cases that fit the new oil line are a staggering $330, just for the case halves. Yikes!

Does that mean the 572s being built have even stronger cases now than when the first ones were produced?

far as I could read it was a minor issue.

@Cjone

Im really happy with my 565.

Its a real solid built saw.
revs fast up - has good torq - AV system works great and the balance is great with a 18 inch bar.

Thanks for the input, I bet with a mm and whatnot it’s as fast as a stock 572.

I think the advantages of the 5 Series XP are overrated even in commercial use. I know everyone likes XP because...its XP.
I don't want to put the XP range down - I worked with many of 3 Series and of the 5 Series XP saws.

just my thoughts..

Me and my brothers 572’s came in Saturday serial numbers are one number off so that’s pretty special to us but otherwise very smooth power band in my opinion kind of reminds me of 576 in many ways.

 

[Cjone]

For the ones who had their fingers in them. What saw responds better to mods? I still can get a 372xpg but if the 572 is responding to mods well, I may do that. CJ

Cjone hope this helps
I had a couple 372xp's one oe one x torque. I ran the x torque stock and after mastermind ported it. The oe i ran ported only. Both were real good i did like the oe the best it was quicker reving and felt a little faster than the x torque. Also heard the oe held up better with the lighter piston easier on the bottom end. For sure get the 572 over the 372. I heard the 572 makes good gains from porting

The 565 with OEM double spikes:

 

[sgrizz]

How much lighter is the 572 compared to a ms441 mtronic?

Not!

Those spikes look nice!
