lol hell no we wont be going that long were winding down...From what I've read any problems seem to show up early? you get a good one or a dud? a few full time woodcutters have them here and work them hard cutting dead dry Ironbark I only know of one that's played up a bit but that seems to be sorted whatever was wrong with it...you'll let us know in 10 - 15 years of hard use
nothing to do with chainsaws, but thought this was kinda cool:
*edit* I've now watched it a few times and am changing my mind. It's not kinda cool, it's phucking epic. Even if you don't like the foos, you gotta appreciate the power of music to bring people together and provide some joy in a world that at times can feel like it is sliding into the abyss.
It took me back to my bedroom when I was growing up, walls lined with anything that might dampen the noise - blankets, pillows, cardboard egg cartons, etc - music cranked up as I left the world behind to belt out fave songs on my drums, for hours at a time sometimes.
id say your mates are right, your running an engine with no oil pressure, that means metal to metal contact on the mains, rods & cam bearings, an engine destructing practice. it wouldn't be the first time a service wasn't done properly or at all.k am i doin it wrong
i change oil in my cars .. My system i drop the oil into pan and as it flowing i dump 1/2 litre fresh oil down the spout and start motor for just a mo 3, 4 /5 seconds at idle only....the idea in my mind is help clear old dirty oil in pump sump and filter,, then i'll watch till the fresh stuff runs to pan and leave it for 30 minutes to drain ( wot i doin now ) then plug it and refill i told me mates they freaked said omg you can wreck the donk....
what say yousse mob?
the reason i'm dropping wifeys Hyundai oil is after the work shop ***** serviced it i checked and gee oil was tad overfull i ignored then but today recheck & still tad overfull and found smear over engine top so suspect getting blow back or leak due to over pressure
here the overfull levels truly i reckon they change the without changing the filter oil added OEM 5.9 litre not the 5.4

thansk
Do the oil change with the old oil hot.
Side note
Wynn's did a stunt with a oil additive years ago. They drained the oil out of s old commodore and drove it from Darwin to allice Springs. The trick was the additive keep a microscopic amount of oil on every surface. They never stopped the engine.
Take the filter off, drain it and refill with new oil or replace with new filter and fill filter with new oil......dump the oil hot as mentioned......don't do what you are doing, running an engine without oil pressure can destroy it very quickly. Use a magnetic sump plug if you can get one. When complete you can pop the lead off the coil and turn over the engine on the starter to bring up the oil pressure (this is recommended for anal retentive people or if the engine is a high performance race engine with a high idle speed)...5 to 10 seconds should do it.....start it and let it idle until oil pressure comes right back up then you're right to go.
G'day diggers ...
But to be true he has my full respect as an old school Aussie hardwood logger and he has forgotten more than I will ever know! Would be funny to see his reaction to read the Americans argue which is the lightest 60cc saw to run a 32in bar as they do on AS LOL.....
Anyways check him out as he shows who's boss to a little 660! well that is until he pinches it cutting a head off, well he's only human and ain't we all!?....But yeah he is getting old 65+ years and still thinks the 090's are the best saw's ever made and gets cranky at Stihl making them no longer available if you mention anything about them......

Hes not wrong, cant beat the old 090 for dependability in the Aussie bush! Good to see your oldman in a vid again mate, i still remember the video you had a few years ago with him knocking down the old stringy with the 090, just after you rebuilt it for him .
