I've got 2 372xp huskys that need to be rebuilt, both run but were straight gassed, if anyone has experience with them I'll be needing some advice starting with a preferred place to order parts, and it would be helpful if someone could point me in the direction of a video hopefully showing a bolt by bolt walk through since I have zero experience with rebuilding saws

A lot of folks on this board can help. Straight gassed saws are like any other thing, a statistical game. I've seen them where only the cylinder/piston get hurt...pretty cheap, and I've seen them with wasted rod bearings in addition to top end damage therefor wasted crank...expensive. So a tear down makes sense on both and with fingers crossed that you don't see the "blue" around the rod bearing on the connecting rod. :) 
If the bottom end / crank is hurt. Its going to bite the wallet as well. :( Some tools help the process, especially doing the cases. A case splitter is handy and usually is in the $75 dollar range. And the OEM Shop tool to assemble cases are like $50 and are worth every penny for re-assembly. Then the bearings/seals/gasket kit will cost something and the top end as well. 
AND then there is the question of which version...after 2010 ( X-torqs) or Pre 2010 Original editions. Certainly need to know before the top end is ordered and also if the crank is hurt that needs to be considered as well. There are a pile of video's out there on both the rebuild process and identification as well. I have "over view" video's that help fill in the gaps for those a bit more experienced, and there are folks who put up "bolt by bolt" video's....just make sure you have a LOT of coffee and desire to drag through them.

Just put up a series building a Jonsered 2165 which is essentially the same as an Original Edition 372...so i'll put up links to the assembly from cases up....THEN I will post one on tear down and bearing replacement on 372's after

But first assembly...start half way thru this first video, covers 372 class case assembly:

MORE 372 trivia and at the last third, I split the cases and change bearings....a good place to see potential's issues after spitting cases.

Thanks for the links I'll check them out, I may have already seen bits and pieces on you tube and the other forum while I was lurking. My saws are both the older models with the decompression valve on the side

My saws are the older 372 not the x tork

Walt has privided you with a wealth of knowledge there. Worth soaking it all in even if the saws aren't that bad.

I'd bet that if they both still run, then the damage is likely minimal. In which case I think that the bottom ends will be fine. This is the case 9 out of 10 times with a straight gas problem that comes into the shop. And that is for saws that are wiped to the point that they will not run at all. In your case you should be good to go. The cylinders will more than likely be salvageable meaning that fresh pistons, either OEM or aftermarket, should have you up and running.
