[jacob j.]

Mahle has a factory in Brazil and several of the 395 top ends I've used were Mahle, made in Brazil.

All these come around when I've gotten rid of all my ported saws in the trade range. I do however have a husky 365 with a ported tecomec p/c that's been running strong for a few years now,if you have any interest in that.

365 a little bigger than what I want. I'm kinda hooked on the ported 50cc saws. I blame Randy for that

@sawmikaze would know better, but I believe it's when hungry USMC plane mechanics are on the prowl.

Hmmm mayhaps.

I’ll say this if I ended up with this saw I’d put the nice oem covers that came with it away somewhere and slap an @Mattyo 288 cover on it. Keep those oem covers nice.

I have a ported 359/7 done by @Red97 Joe Harkness. Any interest? OEM 357 jug ported on a 359 case and crank. Nice wide power band that pulls a 84DL 3/8 nicely.

This is it with a chain from my MMWS 372. Was a bit grabby....

@Tim N on that 357/359…I like mine by @Benwa. Not too much heavier than my 2252 but quite a bit more snuff, 24” in soft wood. Not as much grunt as my MMWS 6100 but 5ccs smaller and a heck of a lot lighter…

Pretty much sums it up. Feel like a 346xp but pull twice as hard. This one spools Pretty good too.

Looks very stout. Are the 359 bottom ends better than the 357 or is it just upgrading a 359 by putting 357 top on?

357xp has crank stuffers and better port timing. They get peaky stock. The 359 was the same crank / cases/ etc and more lazy timing... a farm and ranch saw. When you put a 357xp cylinder on a 359 case you get best of both worlds with some porting.
