Building a 560xp

[komatsuvarna]

How would it be to put the crank in a freezer and keep the halves warm? I knew a guy that used to spray freon on a shaft to slide a bearing on but that was when freon was cheap.

It helps, but the heat makes more difference. Room temperature to 225* with heat VS room temperature to about 0* in the freezer.

I believe the SB on the case bolts was to use 357/346 bolts.

I would strongly consider a 560, but looks like this is the only way to get one and is a little cost prohibitive.

For a momentary derail, Mitch, do you use the Husky tool to seat the seals on the 346?

Never installed seals on a 346.....priced it out many times but no biters. Part them all out.

Actually it calls for the cylinder bolts of the 357xp.....

Transition started 2012 1000481 All previous saws had the old screws.

How about using Loc-Tite on the original screws?

Or just order the replacements?

Loc tite and don't over torque the screws.

I'm not 100% sure of my hunch but if you read into what I've said about pulling the case halves together, I'm not thinking its a surface tension issue. Are the screws a "band-aide", I'm not quite ready to commit to that either.

Why not just do as the SB say - but that's too easy isn't it?

You are correct...wow, those are really short for what I am used to seeing for case bolts.

Loc Tite would be too easy.

Otherwise I have to order the screws, or make the one hour drive to my dealer. :msp_smile:

Yes, they are 2/3 the length of "regular" case bolts. Also unlike many case bolts holes, they bottom out instead of going all the way through.

I'd just order the screws and get them in a mail. What's it going to cost to ship? A couple extra stamps?

In theory if you had the cases fail then you could probably get warranty down the line even after the 6 months or whatever it is, but if you've been in and out and put in some loctite that may complicate things.

I agree Mike. Neil (nmurph) as offered to send me the screws. He's a good dude!!! :msp_smile:

Sound advice.

:agree2: Exactly, halv assed solutions to a possible warrenty issue is not the way to go!

I'm not saying its a solution but it is what they request.....so one must follow to adhere to warranty.

I've been known to use halv-asses solutions... :msp_biggrin:

I try for at least 5/8 assed...

got my computer back this eve,so i havnt been able to follow. was dishearted to see the 555 in failure,but nothing is simple,always a nut in the works.a different exhaust note when we fired it up,just sounded mean! it ran hard for awhile.:msp_sad::msp_sad:
