372xp x-torq

[Jloomis]

Need a little help. I just did a complete rebuild bearing, crank ,piston, cylinder, seals, carb. My problem is Got a cylinder used from a guy here. I now realize it was a 365 cylinder. the transfer covers have a divider. I have already got it together and it fired can i run it this way? I dont want to take it back apart. I did delete the base gasket. my squish is 21. will this mess up my timing? If you cant tell i am really new to this.

Why couldn't you run it? If the piston and cylinder match up, you're fine. The crankshafts on both saws are the same, I have no clue about the squish but I think anything larger than 20 is ok. @huskihl would know more about the squish than I.

Sounds like you put a 365xtorq cylinder on it, right? If so, yes you can certainly run it that way. Finding a tamper-proof torx bit (t-10 I think), pulling the transfer covers, and removing the baffles will give you a nice performance gain though.

thanks! I do have the transfer covers off the old cylinder. I was hoping to just be able to run it. When i deleted the gasket i used a then layer off sealer to the cylinder. Just dont want to open it up so soon. Hoping to here so advise on the timing.

You can swap transfer covers without pulling the cylinder.

You just need a special bit. It's got the tit in the middle..

I just did 3 of these and it’s a big job so you did well for some one new to this!

I had no special tools. Heat and freezer. After I missed up a set of seals I had my local saw shop put a seal in for me. All the rest I learned on here. I am very thankful for that.

you can do the mag side, but im not sure you can do the pto side without raising the cyl?
