Hey Tinman, I did a G888 kit a couple months ago. I snapped off two cylinder bolt heads within the first hour. Fortunately they were opposite corners so no damage! I got the nubs out and replaced them with oem and it's been going strong since. Going forward I'll be installing oem bolts in the case and cylinder. Looking forward to the rest of this series. 👍

Tinmaaaaan, glad to see you're building an aftermarket chainsaw. Looking forward to seeing how it runs Stock then have you tear it down and port the Sh.. T out of it. Then we all can see if it stands up to the added power. My guess, stock will have only a couple issues if any. Ported may develop a few issues to chase. My experience with Chinese cylinder /piston etc ported quite smoothly. The power was very good, plating didn't chip and the only thing that was bad is the carburetors as you are well aware of. We are all so very excited for you and the Mrs with the birth of your first child. Being a father of three adult children now I can honestly say it's the best thing that has ever happened to myself and my wife. Keep putting up the great content my Canadian brother.. ✌️

I built the same kit almost 2 years ago. However, knowing Chinese lack of quality I opted for the Meteor cylinder and piston, oem bearing and seals and an oem carb. I kept a better pull cord on hand and a quality spark plug. I've run the snot out of my 288 and love it. I cut my own firewood and help others cut theirs and it works fine. I wouldn't expect it to last long in an actual logging application but it's dandy for a firewood operation.

Good time on the build. I'm replacing the bearings on my 288 kit since one of them has a flat spot on it. I had to have Huztl send me another cylinder because the plating was peeled off the one I received. I won't be using the Huztl cylinder for long because I caught the Hyway 288 P/C kit on sale from HL for $54 plus shipping, I will use the Huztl P/C to get my port numbers then put the Hyway set on. Usually I deck the cylinder base and do a base gasket delete but if there is enough material on the base of the cylinder I think I will leave the gasket this time. I'll trim the cylinder ring away at the base where they lowers are to get better flow and start adjusting my timing from there. The original Tillotson carbs that came with these had the enriching jet (like the CS-590's do) so I'm going to run it like that and see if I need to do a block off on that as well. The tank/rear handle on mine came with one of the isolators stripped out by them so I have to fix that as well but I'm replacing the rubber isolators (antivibe) with spring isolators. Going with a lot of OEM parts as well. I using a OEM muffler with the spark arrestor screen and will turn the deflector around and have it point forward and push the internal diverter back for better flow and placing a second screen/deflector on the other side for a dual port muffler to help the restriction of the screens. It will be interesting to see what port numbers you come up with, I've heard these port close to what the 372's do on duration's.

Hi Tinman, I find it works great to heat a metal plug of approximately the size of the inner bearing race. Heat the metal plug and place it on to the bearing race and let the heat transfer. This will heat up the bearing race slowly and expand the inner race of the bearing. Together with freezing the crankshaft it works 9/10 times. It does take some prep and time however. Great video again!

Hi tinman ,put one of the 288 kits together back in March , went well ,I did have the husqvarna crank puller kit ,worked great, little different design with the clutch side seal in the oil pump , did some port work and clean up ,add a pop up piston, haven't run it much yet , but with the muffler mod , she sure barks .one thing that drove me nuts was a large rubber grommet in the kit , took me a while to figure out that it goes on the handle right above the clutch cover . Couldn't have done it without you and Harvey's videos .

Hey Tinman, like the video. Can’t wait to see the follow-up vids. I did a top end rebuild (my first build) on my beloved ‘86 281xp that got me into felling & forestry related work. It hadn’t been run in over 20 years and I learned a ton in the process. Was able to salvage the original cylinder and piston and it’s running like a champ, but I bet I’ll have to do a full rebuild at some point. I’ve already invested in the parts for when the time comes and plan on turning it into a 288xp. This and the following vids will be a huge help for when the time comes to pull the trigger on that project. Cheers from Little Falls, MN….“Beauman” the lumberdork.

I got busy, & couldn't watch for a few days. This is glorious! I like how you put your cases together. I bought a tool. But it doesn't work with the coarse thread pto side of the 200-300 series saws, they only work on the flywheel side! So I'm like....damnit. In the past, I have used my torpedo heater plus throw a bearing in a baggy out in the snow bank. Ten minutes later, plunk. HhhhhhLike a Glove! I saw Walt do that too. But he used his woodstove. This last time with my 61, I did what you did here with my heat gun, & had the crank in my freezer. I'm digging your dry humor in this btw, lmao. I'm gonna watch all 3 parts tonight.

I‘ve done a few low ends but it is always entertaining to see how you are doing things - every time I learned new things. My procedure is heating up the case halves in the oven (60°C) and put the crank in the freezer. If it’s still too tight, and the bolts won‘t grab, I just use longer ones and gently pull that thing together. Looking forward to the next episode!

You can make the puller using 2 large fine thread bolts and nuts and some large washers and a piece of pipe to sit against the inner race . Drill and tap the bolts using the appropriate thread pitch. Pretty easy and inexpensive tool to make. I used a set of their cases to rebuild a 2172 that had a cracked , flywheel side case. Nice option for older saws that are getting hard to find parts for. Biggest problem with these kits are guys trying to pass them off as real saws on buy and sell groups. I called a few out already. Buyer beware!

The other way to get the crank to fit would be to toss it in the freezer overnight to shrink it just enough to fit. This is a common practice with heavy equipment, in some cases people use dry ice or liquid nitrogen for a quicker cooling. Also you could use aviation form a gasket paste that comes in a can to hold the gasket in place, I used to use it for all kinds of stuff especially things like rad hoses and to hold intake manifold gaskets and never had a leak. Was taught that by a very experienced auto tech.
