2165 Rebuild

[Wolverine]

When you split cases don't check the oil tank to see how full it is. It's much more fun to soak the bench and vise with bar oil.

That gives it what you call character.

Mike- I can send you some bearings Monday morning. I still have leftovers from that huge lot of NOS Nachi bearings I bought a couple years ago. There ended up being 150 new bearings in that bag.

That's cool of you.

Nope. This will have the 365 special jug. I actually sold the 372 jug I had in favor of the 65cc.

They're so close I've sold several 372 jugs and bought 365.

How close are they Mike? I have a 365 Special, and a 372xp jug, but no desire to swap out the top ends. I've never ran the two side by side, but my 2171 that I sold was a real good runner.

That would be awesome buddy.

With 24" bars I don't think you can tell them apart. I've been using 24" full comp on this one so far. Going to have a 372 xtorq here next week to mess with and compare to it.

Is that the jug I have? Thanks again BTW!

Yes that's the one. I got another 365 top end the day I sold you that one.

 

[beaglebriar]

I could have gone 365 as well but figured it wouldn't be as strong. Learning is why I'm here!

Anybody ever try out a 362xp jug?

First one I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

Looks to be about 2/3rds the transfer volume of the other...

What that relates to idk, just an observation.

I haven't tried one. I've heard they're pretty close to the 365 from Gypo. The 372 cylinder will come out on top with longer bars. I have the 046 to run bigger bars anyway.

This saw going to be 8-10" cants only?

The 362 and the 365 Special make the same power (on paper) but the 362 does it at 1000 more RPMs than the 365. If you look at the transfers they have quite a hook to them. The 362 XP was intended to replace the 262 XP (was also small mount) but never really took off. I believe the 365 Special was ~$100.00 cheaper than the 362 XP when new. They are good runners though, rev out really well.

Yeah probably so. It's going to get put together stock first more than likely. I've got to get a groove cut in my mandrel and then size it to fit the 48mm bore. It will take me a while to knock the 3mm off the aluminum.

Is this running yet ?

 

[cgraham1]

C'mon Skippy.

 

[skippy]

Well OK Clint I will give him another day

If I had both bearings the bottom end would be together. Might even been using it yesterday for trimming the big chunk up.

 

[mdavlee]

I found a bearing at home. So I started putting it together. Got it together until I need to tear the mix breed apart for the tank. I heated the case halves in the oven to 325° for about a half hour or so. The flywheel side bearing fell right in right after pulling the case half out of the oven.

Here's the rest of the pictures.

Great thread Mike.

Can't believe I missed it......

I have one of those 362XP top ends if you ever get curious.
