Husqvarna 365 with Nikasil BB kit and a Snellerized 372

Here are some of the first cuts of a 365 I put together with a Nikasil BB kit. The saw is totally stock. I will MM and replace the coil shortly.

Here is a saw Brad did for the 372 build-off. I made more cuts but the camera card was full unbeknownst to me.

It appears as though the stock saw is only approx 2 seconds behind. I did not count the first cut as it didn't appear to be a complete round.

Good work, what are you cuttin?, should have used the same B/C on both, looked like the chain on the 365 is somewhat grabby.

I really thought Brad's saw was a good bit faster, as it felt and sounded so. But I guess that just goes to prove how much sound has to do with our perceptions of speed. That BB is totally stock other than having the base gasket omitted. The compression was bit over 160 when I checked it last night.

Both saws are running the exact same bar and chain.

The tree is a loblolly that a ROW crew dropped directly in front of my house; how convenient!! It is a little less than 24" and probably 60-80 years old. The outer 1/3 is typical soft wood, but the inner 2/3 is nothing buy tar impregnated heart. You can hear the saw slow when in that part of the cut. An hour or so after cutting cookies, the end of the tree will be oozing tar.

There's a lot more in your 372 if you lean it out a little. It's 4-stroking hard. In guessing you could safely pick up another 1000-1500 RPMs.

I'm guessing you will be even more impressed with the modded saw when you get into more consistent material....FWIW.....Cliff

By big bore are you saying an aftermarket kit or an XPW cylinder? And the 372 appeared to cut faster through the beginning and end of the cut, could see where you could lean it a bit more but for some reason the 365 made up a whole lotta time right in the middle.

No safety glasses, gloves, or boots....tsk tsk tsk!

It's an aftermarket cylinder with a Nikasil plating. The ports looked very nice and needed very little work to make them as good OEM.
