Husky 576 XP top end parts

[madmari]

I need to rebuild my 576XP- scored piston bad while ripping big pine pulp. Think the crank seal failed, leaning the cylinder.
  Question is this- I'd like to relace the piston and jug with NWP big bore parts from Bailey's, but can't find a listing for the 576XP. Is the piston/jug the same as the 372XP?

  They do list Husky OEM parts, but the cost is 3x as much. Any suggestions?

comparing photos of the 371-72 to the 576 it dont look like there interchangeable at all...mabe the late 372 thats a strato type, but thats just a gess


the 576 is 74cc stock best i can find, so if there was a BB kit that would be something like 3 or 4 more cc?s that seems to be the norm...

madmari, I would contact Scott at the chainsawr in Stannard VT, he might have a used OEM top end for that saw. He has good prices on used OEM stuff.
Doesn't show one on the website, but he sometimes has stuff not listed. Worth asking.

i thought since we where looking for the exact same thing, id revive it.

OE is it so for.

is there a thred some where with top end inter change on this site or else where?

Not sure why this is the case, but OEM 576 top ends are pretty cheap.

I sell them for $150. So, I wouldn't think that an aftermarket kit would be much of an alternative.

[trooperTdiesel]

thats better then the on line prices of 250 ish

ive been searching a lot on it and there set too lean from OE and burn up..

yea need to knock the stops off the carb a-justers so you can set it a little richer then they want for passing EPA

Here's an OEM option for the 576XP: http://www.baileysonline.com/Parts/Parts-Kits-Sets/Pistons-Cylinder-Ring-Kits/Husqvarna/HUSQVARNA-CYLINDER-ASSM-51MM-576.axd

Interesting to note on this, it does share the same piston bearing as the Husky 372. At times that is the first hurdle to cross when wondering if "this fits that". Our in house mechanic thinks that the bolt pattern would be the hold up though.

Sorry, at Bailey's we don't have an aftermarket for that newer model saw. Most times bad things happen when you lend a saw and your neighbor runs straight gas through it. Since you were ripping, you need to keep that drive bearing greased and take it easy on the old girl. If you rip carefully, the chain would pull you through the cut and an even pace.
