Here For The Long Haul!

Cleaning up my old ms880 last of the cast muffler 88's.
Thought some might find it interesting it's a high hr saw it's done a lot of hard work over the year's it's definitely never been babied.
This saw has only ever been run on the same MINERAL OIL.
It's a myth 2T mineral oil is not a good performing oil in saw's I think there is one other guy on chainsaw forums that also knows this and that's CR888 lol.
Sawdust fines are blamed for just about all damage ever found in a saw the end! Lol from stuck gumed up rings to piston scoring to blown bearings you name it even load side piston skirt wear.
It's a myth sawdust fines do zero damage to a saw engine I have never seen anything bad that could be blamed on fines getting past a filter in a saw's engine or anything posted that would change my mind?.
Most saw engine damage is from a perceived good oil or lack of oil or bad tune or just rubbish build quality in a saw to start with.
All IMHO I don't actually care what guys run in there saw's or how they treat them or blame damage on.
Anyways here's a few pics.
