Hello Group, I have a 2004, Husky 372XP that had the Main Crankshaft Bearing go.
I had just started it, and it was just idling on the ground (at least it was low rpm's...).
I'm going to tear it down, and repair it, with the help of an experienced friend.
What "speciality tools" will I need to remove the crankshaft/bearings?
I know that I should replace bearings and gaskets.
WHAT else should I replace, while I'm "in there"?
Does anyone recommend installing Bailey's "Big-Bore" Cylinder/piston kit?
(This increases the cc's, due to the 2mm oversized bore, and would give the saw more HP).
Is there any 'downside' to installing this???
-Please advise me!
-Thanks!
