I agree with Brokenbudget's last post!

We may have a slight delay in kit availability due to a SNAFU between US/Brazilian customs on our mufflers.

As for pictures, all we have right now is engineering samples that we have been building test sample saws from and making changes to. They are UGLY and do not necessarily reflect what we will be making available in the test kit offering. As soon as a near final version is available, I will post pictures.

There may be changes again after feedback comes in from the test kits.

Are you only making these kits for the 372 & 365 ?

We picked the 365/37X saws as a starting point because they are so popular and there are so many of them out there. We have a couple of other ideas that we are exploring. Another small Husky and a mid-sized Stihl but right now it is all we can manage/afford just getting the current test kits ready and out there.

When we were exploring this, it seemed that we could get the parts from many sources. However, when we started speaking to vendors late last year we found out that was not the case.

Like I said before Tim, wish we were closer, i think I could handle your dual port needs.. Anyways I'm going to try this setup of BB, different piston, squish at .020 ish on the 365 I bought from you.

I do have a question, what is the stock squish on a 372xp?

Anybody know what the squish is of the Hyway BB kit, using the supplied piston, with stock base gasket installed?

You must measure it, everything has tolerance differences , sorry but there is no way around it.
