Hello Weimedog!  Good to hear from you.  Are you talking about the main case bolts or cylinder bolts?  I remember that I learned from one of your videos that somewhere in mid to late 2000 they could be either one, at least on the plastic cased versions of 340-350, and the Jonnys 2145, 2150.  Any more I just keep the bolts with the case I tore down.  What year 346 are you working on?

With the plastic cased 340-350 that's true. I guess I didn't  expect it on the metal cased 346xp's. AND you really have a mix of the two threads through out the cases...coarse on things like the oil pump, fine on the cylinder screws, bucking spikes and the 6 case screws. Coarse on the ignition coil and the rest of the plastic parts....

Building 3 346xp cased saws.... really didn't look at the tags, they were all from a box of parts. I've had to separate out the parts to piece together the saw in "mock up" so I can catalogue what I need to complete these projects...

  Good to know as I have 2 346's of 2011 & 12 waiting to be rebuilt.  The 353's of that period may be affected as well.  Sure don't need any cross-threading going on.     Just want to commend you on all your videos.  I have sure enjoyed watching and learning from all of them.  Like you, I'm a tinkerer, and love to wrench on this series of saws.  Keep them coming as I really enjoy them sir.  You have a wonderful Thanksgiving
