Put bearings and crank in the freezer for a while and bake the case in the oven at 200 bearings should drop right in. What a few minute fro the bearings to warm up and drop crank in. DON'T forget case gasket. Job can be done with out the crank tool. Seals can be driven with a socket big enough...

Of the thread repair inserts for the coarse thread Husqvarna screws, like in handle bars and antivibes in the tanks. These are for plastic and magnesium. range in price $5-11 a piece plus shipping. I would like to have about 50 to keep on hand. Husqvarna parts says NLA. I'm down to my last one...

Heat shrink, would last longer than tape.

You may need a fuel pressure regulator.

Put the 346 top end on the 350.
