Aren't they a permanent part of the bearing?I have a set of new in package crank seals for 350 if you need
Husky used to sell them separately. It's just a 6202 C3 inside of there. You can still get just the seals in the aftermarket. Tough to budget in $65 in bearings and seals for a $175 saw...Aren't they a permanent part of the bearing?
I built 4 of em in the last year, three from junk saws. The stock one has 110 lbs comp, the 2 with popup pistons are in the 180s comp, the one I finished yesterday with a flat top piston is in the 140s.
I have some 346s but I don't feel the least bit bad about using the 350s.
Is there a cylinder swap for the 350? The 350 has that split crankcase?
346 bolts right on, just have to grind a groove for the different impulse.Is there a cylinder swap for the 350? The 350 has that split crankcase?
Wow tell me more about the pop up mine is the older 1 with the flat top[/QUOTE
If you have a flat top piston in yours you probably have the 44 m/m cyl.
HLsupply has Hyway popup pistons for the 45 m/m cyls.
45 m/m 350s came with a dished top piston, same engine as 353s, but 353s have a flat top piston for more compression, 353 pistons will fit 45 m/m 350s.
Yes, sorry I have the whole thing. Ordered them for my build then lost them and ordered another set. Found this set a year later.Aren't they a permanent part of the bearing?
The 45mm cylinder that comes on a 350 or 353 is not really the best design for performance. If you want to upgrade, I'd start with a 346xp top end in either 42 or 44.3mm flavor. There are threads available if you search on the modifications that need to be done to make that setup work. After that the normal(timing, muffler, carb and intake) mods can take it further. Cylinder modifications(porting) are the next step after that. You may be able to find a builder to just grind a jug for you, but I believe most of them prefer to have the whole powerhead to really dial it in as slight variations in cases, cranks, etc can change timing.So basically need to get a 45mm cylinder for any more further mods. It goes very well now it's a nice little saw really it has an 18 and probably 16 be better but it sorta saves going to get a bigger saw for the odd big cut here n there when limbing.
Does anyone sell ported cylinders?

Another alternative that has been found to work well is the Hyway aftermarket top end. It is a closed quad port transfer arrangement and it's 45mm. You can also get a pop up piston from this company to further take compression up. Most that have used these agree that the quality and performance is very good.
No it's closed port. With the removable transfer covers it's easy to grind on.Ok cheers for that information. Is the 45mm oem cylinder open port also? It's nice to have a little saw I can mess with all my other saws are 1970s macs and 1 poulan 4000 and ofcourse playing with cylinders is not an option.
Nope. If you want aftermarket try @Overkill338https://www.ebay.com/itm/45MM-Cylinder-Piston-Kit-For-Husqvarna-346XP-353-Jonsered-CS2152-CS2147-Chainsaw/322483335190?_trkparms=aid=555018&algo=PL.SIM&ao=1&asc=20180306143914&meid=84c301de737847428d5980ff96d8dd32&pid=100935&rk=1&rkt=12&sd=153161711627&itm=322483335190&_trksid=p2349624.c100935.m2460
No brand on this but the price is good
