What problems can it cause?
Ring sticking, seizure, plugged exhaust ports.
If you never get the motor hot you won't notice too many I'll effects other than tcw3 oils in general are pretty dirty. If you do get it hot it goes down hill from there. The ashless disperses used in all tcw3 oils do not function at ring belt temps above 300 degrees. So once you go above that point you have problems.

How does the stuff compare to H1R?

Ben any comments on SI7?

Sent from my non internal combustion device.
Hard to tell much with such little run time.
Did notice a good amount of wear on the intake side skirt. Good be a crappy port bevel causing it.

You don't actually use square in tree work do you? I have a hard time getting 2 tanks cutting semi loads of tops with full chisel. I couldn't imagine running square for daily work.

Holy chit! Can't believe this thread is going still. Big thanks to all those that have been testing.

I haven't looked at this thread in 6 months. Have we come up with a top 5 yet?

No i rarely ever use it. I can file it i just don't have the patience to sit down and do it all the time. I wouldn't win races against some of these guys but I can make it cut.

My work chains are Stihl RM or round RS and on my top handles i use PS or PS3.

Rub the straps a bit where there's a little V in them and the corner will hold up longer than round with the tiny little point. I sent a chain to Matt and he ran 5 or 6 tanks in Hedge before it was dull on the corner.
