562 XP - Air leak, crank bearing seal...

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Damn!

Captain, I think you may possibly be missing a few round bits of bearing!lol You have had some bad luck lately. Hope you get your 562 fixed and back to work and it not be to expensive. Its sometimes hard enough working full time with a saw and when your forced to rebuild your tools & split cases it sucks. You at least are like me and have many saws and the new 7910 will at least make you smile when working!

Well that explains it has the saw had alot of use or is it newer.

It's what I feared when I saw picture of the seal
I cross fingers that piston&cylinder has taken no damage, with luck crank and C&P is in perfect shape.
After you have got the time to check if the saw can be saved or not, since those prices in France are ridicilous, if you need to buy gasket set, bearings and the other seal, check what price spike60 can give you.

Guillaume,

If you need someone in the USA to buy the parts and ship them, I would be willing to help. I just can't imagine paying $150 euro for bearings and seals.

PM me if you need help.

Buying directly from a dealer like Tlandrum or Spike60 may be to your advantage.

Do those bearings have the plastic cages? What other saws share the same bearing?

not sure what type cage material it has.
This type bearing (525434201) is used on 346, 545, 550, 560, 562, 570, 576

Thank you guys,

The saw had a lot of use, yes, but she's in a really good shape overall, I take care of all my saws.

Spike60 won't ship to France, so I will try to find parts somewhere else.

Got a better look at the pic, it looks like a metal cage... I hope there is no more damage in there.
Fingers crossed for you, good luck.

I can price out new bearings and other parts here if you like.

Thank you Jacob, but I already ordered the parts. A bit expensive (€144 finally), but I ordered a few chains and wedges in the same time.

Piston looks good from both sides, and compression is still OK, so I hope the crankshaft and the top end are fine.

Prices are just crazy high here. Best example, a husky 288 cylinder kit = €528.83...

The clutch side bearing alone is at €55.

So if a cylinder kit = 528 the all saw how much 10.000 euros ???? what a F@CK better buy a new saw than repair it

NO the balls is ok nothing loose here , the problem is that this bearings have plastic cages the cages break or something and the balls go all to one side , its imposible to loose the balls of this type of bearings only if you break the bearing.
its a problem that i have see in more of 25 husqvarna 560xp specialy in flywheel side

That's why I buy all my cylinders in the USA.

All the dealers I know will probably refuse to fix this 562, they will try to sell me a new one.

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Bad news,

Piston is shot, and I had to cut the bearing to remove it from the crankshaft.

I just cancelled my parts order, this will be too expensive for a 2 YO saw with a lot of use. I'll keep it as a part saw, and try to find a new one in the trading post.

Wow

 

[Tor R]

That is *s-word news.
The way the bearing looked, there is so many pieces who had to go some places. I've never seen a bearing blown so bad on my lousy projects.
Sometime I wonder if those strato engines deliver enough lubrication for main bearings.

Piston looks a little on the dry side was wondering what fuel / oil ratio was run in it

That's the melted plastic from the bearing. Cylinder and piston skirts are in perfect shape, I always used 95 octane ethanol free with the best oil available (Q8, most advanced european norm) at 32:1.

Must just be the pic I personally only run 32:1 in a ported saw those ballbearing really did a number on that piston
