Porting The Husqvarna 572XP

[Mastermind]

Right on! Made it work with what you had. I like that. Keeps things moving forward!!

I appreciate the reply. I have one on the bench now and was just doing some visuals on it. Comparing it to the MK2 and a 562. The exh roof is interesting on these 572's as with the exh roof on the MK2. In your picture of the exh roof i noticed you took care of "that" ( I dont know what it would be called, the recess area on the 572 )

More than anything else, I think "that" is just a way to get more room for the exhaust to exit. The steep angle of the outlet would be mighty close without them reliving it there.

I would have gotten a gasket usually. But......the guy these belong to in dire straights for a saw. His son smashed one all to hell, and his backup blew the spark plug out. He is using the backup for his backup saw right now.

I had a few videos on my phone.......I thought. Turns out I took some pictures rather than starting a video. We could do a series on that. Old Farts Meet Smart Phones

Bloody oath I could learn a lot in that thread

The guys I'm selling them to have only had one problem. They break the chain brake handles pretty often. I'm not saying that's a issue with the saw......some guys can break an anvil with a rubber mallet.

Seems the brake handle has broken on more then a few in shipping also, I guess the new box design likes to fall more frequently then the old square box, I think the new box needs to be a tad higher also. Jmo.

One thing I've noticed that I'm a wee bit concerned about.

The plating is tough to get just right when beveling after the port work is done. On a couple I've had to make wider bevels than I usually do because the plating wanted to peel a bit.

Just something to keep an eye on.

I’d hope the son is paying for the saw or at least the port job on this 572. Lol

I had plating peeling issues on an MK2 i ported for a guy. Ended up peeling really really bad. I could not use the cylinder it was so bad.
Not to happy to hear this is also a concern with the 572

Use a diamond burr to make your bevels, and take your time. So far I've yet to see one I couldn't get right.

Questions? Comments? MILD criticisms?

Anything unusual about the porting from the average port job?

Just the fragile plating....

That's what I used. Worked well
