Base gasket

[MG porting]

Who has a thinner Base gasket for the Husqvarnas 372xp I would like to get one that's thinner than the OEM gasket?

How thin? What’s your current squish? They are pretty easy to make for yourself. Guys have used beer cans and brass shim stock coated with copper gasket spray when shooting for a specific thickness. Brass shim stock can be had in many thicknesses.

.005 -.008 right now I have three base gaskets that all but one are .019 and the one on the saw right now is .017 squish is at .35 without base gasket she was a little tight I would cut squish But I don't want to move the intake timing down that far so a base gasket that's around .005 - .008 would put everything right where I would like it.

You can find a paper, Manila folder, or cardstock material that’s the right thickness, or brass shim stock. You might be able to find shim stock locally.

If you were to cut the squish to loosen it just a little bit, by losing the gasket you would only move the intake a degree

I'm being picky.

I've got printers paper that is what I would normally use but it's still .014.

.014 ain’t that tight (if it’s accurate). I like 15-18. Sand the band a bit. All a smeer af JB to the intake floor if youre that picky.

It's consistent .015 twords the cylinder wall then in the middle of squish band around .019.

Found something in the drawer of my tool box that wound up being what the Dr ordered. Ones I made the gasket I just peeled the stiker off and the gasket measured .006 perfect. Thanks summit racing for saving me one's again.

A beer/pop can usually measures about .004” thick. I used a Coors can for a gasket on my MS460. Works great.

Only problem is if I use a beer can tha means I would have to drink it first because there's no way I'm going to waste it.

I wouldn't consider that a problem just a solution

Aluminum can. You can sand it to the desired thickness.
