Sold this real nice 372xpw to a guy the other day before he left I insisted in showing him the compression, which read 145 psi. Saw started, ran, idled and throttled up flawlessly. Today I get a text to call him. He says he used the saw for 20 minutes and it shut off and would not restart, so he let it sit and tried again and it was locked up. He then says he proceeded to take off the muffler and sees metal bits. But the piston on the exhaust side is fine. He then pulled the cylinder and sees more metal and a piece jamming the crank (which he says he removed with a magnet) and scoring on the intake side. The pictures below are what he sent me. Also the lower part of the case on the clutch side looks clean to me as if it were straight gassed? What do you guys think of this at this point with the little info I know provided. He is now away on work and I will get more info when he returns. He has to send me more of the cylinder and exhaust side of the piston.
