    I think if the 572 or whatever works out the 372 will be ended in a year or so after the release. 576 is a good saw and probably a better saw overall than a 372 but it never got out from under the problems the 575 had.

    So buy your 372s now and hoard them.

    There are still non xtorq 372's you can NOS (hasn't been made in several years).

    Which to some, are better than the newer EPA 372 xtorq. But the older XPW was a larger displacement and preferred by a lot of people. They still make a current xpw but they have the same 71 cc displacement as the xtorq 372xp.

    Is there any identifing marks on the 51.4mm cylinders that differ from the standard 50mm cylinders, I know some of them had the stamps on the top but those have all been wore off from the cylinders I have.

    It's easy enough to measure the bore.

    A metric ruler is good enough or a inch ruler and convert.

    If they are on a saw stick a popsicle stick or pencil in the bore through the exhaust port and measure the mark on it after you've pinched it with the piston.
