did you just heat the bearings, to install the crank then? which site first
I used long bolts and the case bolt holes to draw the case halves together. Did not have to heat them to get the old case off so no need to heat them to get the new one on.

Okay, but you installed the crank, with the bearings in the cases, right?
You are really coming along on that 372, good quality pics too.
It has been a while since I updated this thread, completely forgot to post the final pictures.
Finally painted that clutch cover and put the new decal on. I will have to say that the Valspar Husky orange looks good to me. I also fixed the threads in the fuel tank so I could use the oem handlebar bolts.
Found a better looking muffler and a inner bucking spike. I picked up a can of the high temp black paint and I plan to spray the muffler here shortly.
back from the dead. nice restore.
did you ever upgrade to unlimited coil?
Never did mess with changing the coil. The "limit" on the coil is something like 13,300 and the saw will never even come close to that while cutting. I don't see where the unlimited coil has any advantages, short of making it a bit easier to tune.
true. so whats your final tally on the 372 project? 400? :msp_ohmy:
This saw don´t cut anything, the chain is reverse!!!LOL
Good saw, i wait for the day when i have one!!!

Did you fire it up for a second after you installed it to bake on the finish? Not full temp, persay, but just enough to heat 'er up?
Johnnie is so good he installed a functioning reverse gear .
Nice work, Johnnie, thanks for the thread & the photos. I'll rep you if the software will let me :msp_confused:.
