A peak inside the AM 346xp 44.3 kit

[moody]

I received a goody package in the mail yesterday via brown truck. Inside contained a Husqvarna 350 and this nice kit. I'll be porting the saw and that will be a another thread. At first glance this kit is very nice. Only one small casting flash issue on the piston but that can be ground off in a few seconds. Here are some pictures for you. I believe Randy has hit a home run with this kit and will have a nice option for those looking to replace a top end.

Really nice looking kit. Combustion chamber has good shaping and there aren't any harsh edges on the ports. Looks to be a plug and play kit.

Pictures are SUPER small. Can't really see anything..

Ok. Who makes the kit?

Sorry I don't know the trick to make them larger.

And its not branded yet. But looks like a hyway kit.

Can someone please show me the big picture trick.

Not quite.

Quote my post and you'll see what needs to be done. Copy and paste the photobucket img code, it's on the right of the photobucket page, under the "links to share this photo" header.

Bingo. Now go back and edit your first post and use those links. :msp_wink:

Actually, you are using the HTML link, not the img link. I have no clue of the practical difference for forum purposes.

346 photos

I c/p the IMG code fm Photobucket on every forum I'm in. The IMG file is the one that opens automatically in any thread you attach it to. It's easy and has never failed to d/l the pic I wanted...resizes too. I think there are other photo programs that are similar but PB has been good. The only thing you have to do is load your photos to PB to begin with.

the bore/plating surface looks like crap. Looks like casting irregularities under the plating as if the mold wasn't filled out enough and then when it was machined there are now low spots and little ripples

 

[Zombiechopper]

notice how the hatch marks miss the low spots? I'd send that right back where it came from.

I didn't like what I though I was seeing either...

What you are seeing as "low" is actually a little coat of grease.

I initially thought it might be something like that, that's why I kept my "mouth" shut about it until someone else spoke up....:msp_wink:

Probably best to degrease it and take a new pic, if you have an opportunity.

It was my bad for not cleaning it first. By no means is it perfect the honing isn't as nice as OEM but it's not nasty.

I'd take another picture but I don't have a camera handy. I'll see how a phone photo works here shortly.

Hell man port it and run it.........let us know how it does.
