Here is last nights progress. Everything went together pretty well. One note of intrest: all bolts going into case on this older saw have hex heads for a 5\16 socket instead of the later 4mm allen heads that Husqvarna later went to. When bolting down the cylinder, the casting holes in the new NWP were about 1.5mm smaller diameter than the holes in the OEM 44mm cylinder. I was unable to fit my smallest 1\4 drive socket through the holes. Luckily i had a 55 parts saw on hand and the 4mm allen bolts matched perfectly. The casting holes on the NWP do match the size of the OEM 46mm (from a 55 rancher) which it is designed to replace.
Ill have to keep the bolts in mind if I have to order a 55 big bore for my 50. Ive been waiting for 3 freakin weeks now for my piston ring to come from ebay. Im starting to wish i had payed a little extra and ordered it from baileys, it would've been here two weeks ago.
