357xp parts anyone?

[Jesse]

No I haven't

I fitted on of the ARB 357/359 kits to a 357 a couple of years ago and it didn't seem bad considering that it's a third/quarter of the cost of genuine.

 

Lik the others have said, the 359's a little down on power compared to the 357, but it's really not that noticalble on the whole. I run a 2159 jonsered as well as another 357 and I'll still happily take the 2159 out felling. I think it's more of a mellower power delivery than being loads less powerful - bit like comparing the older 353's and 346's.

 

The 357 I put the cylinder kit on ran fine and happily pulled an 18" bar in some hairy Pines.

Yes, these are good from tesgol, the only BB kit I've heard recommended is the HyWay kit from America, wisecobandit recently fitted a 372 one

Mike (tesgol) lives close to me has 1 of these kits fitted to his own 357 saw and recommends it saying it does give a bit of extra power. Hes got one winging its way to me for a trial. I buy a lot through him and cant rate his service highly enough.

You certainly wont get a more motivated seller or all round genuine guy. Hyway certainly seems quality stuff in regards to pistons and cylinders. The only thing I do tho is use the original saw circlips on the gudgeon/piston pin on any piston swap.
