365-372

[Mkinslow]

I've only seen nachi with the metal cage.

That’s what the shop owner said also

Boys this thing will get to rolling soon. Still gathering parts and waiting on some to arrive. Don’t mean to keep dragging it out

Here's a great deal on SKF bearings. If you go to check out and choose USPS the shipping price is cut in half.. I already bought 20 of them.[emoji1]

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/262897438579

I bought 20 of these too. Smokin deal and metal cages are a win win. I just pulled apart 3 372xpts that had cracked plastic cages on the "good" bearing.

I just got myself some of those too. Thanks for the help on that one guys. Good deal.

Ok. My son and I have been messing around with the 371xp today. I was checking ring gap in the cylinder. New caber ring only has.005 clearance. Old one is .021. How tight is too tight

 

[Mkinslow]

Just checked a 365xt cylinder with old piston and it’s .009. So maybe.005 is ok on a new caber ring in a 371xp

I have honestly never looked up the ring gap spec. Did you find anything on the web?

 

[Wagnerwerks]

They're pretty tight new. That doesn't sound out of line.

No not really but it goes sound fine by reading some on other saws

That’s good to know bud. Didn’t find anything talking about a 371 in particular. But by some of the reading I believe it’s ok also. Was just shocked it read so tight

I would’ve questioned it too. .007 to .009 is what I would’ve expected to see.

 

[Mkinslow]

I got 009 in my last 372xp build. I just remembered I wrote it on top of the cylinder with the squish measurement.

 

[old guy]

I normally see new ones at .008 - .011, had one at .014, but I don't do many.
Have replaced several at .018.

I’m also wondering if one could open the gap up with a file or sandpaper if it was to tight???

That's how you do it. But I'd think in a couple tanks you'll be closer to 7 or 8 thou anyway, which is good

I figured I could but I also thought the same thing about it opening up some after it was run in on a couple tanks

I did get the cases back together yesterday. Installed the new nachi bearings and seals. I still gotta wait on the silly little o-ring that goes on the clutch side. Those nachis feel nice. The old bearings didn’t feel bad but I thought why not. Got a good looking tank off a 365xtorq parts saw from @brandonstclair20 along with some other smalls. I may end up with enough parts to build a 365 with all the parts I’ve been trading around to get.

Also wanted to tell you guys my son may not be in many of the pictures next couple days. He has asthma and last night about 2am he woke us up having what they call an “allergic asthma attack” so my wife had to rush him the nearest ER so they could draw blood and try to catch what the allergy might be that’s causing the reaction to happen.

Sorry to hear that sir, hope all is going well now

Thanks my friend. He’s learned how to deal with it and it’s gotten better in the last few years but when it happens it kicks his butt for a few days.
