Well, I think a lot of it will over many hours.Not sure a few milligrams of wood dust per gallon of 2Mix is gonna score aluminum...don't they use aluminum oxide to sand wood?

I have a 500i that seized on the exhaust port side , using 45 to 1 fuel and have been for years in all my stihl saws ( MS660 MS088 MS036 ) with no problems the 500i is about 2 years old and has turned into my goto saw for its power to weight ratio. Was using with a 24 inch bar and it just stopped, no signs of a impending seize , thought it was fuel but still had 1/2 a tank , went to pull over and it was solid. I am replacing the barrel and piston but would love to know WHY it seized. If anyone has seen this happen before and worked out why I would love to know, Thanks...Allan.
If it's sucking fines you can assured it's also sucking dirt via dust or dirty logs.Not convinced that a few milligrams of wood dust ingested per gallon of 2Mix is gonna score aluminum.

Aluminum and aluminum oxide are not the same thing. The oxide is very hard. Aluminum metal is rather soft. Think of it this way: iron and rust are very different. But rust is iron oxide. That having been said, is the cylinder aluminum or is it sleeved with steel?Not convinced that a few milligrams of wood dust ingested per gallon of 2Mix is gonna score aluminum.

Cylinders are mostly Aluminum coated with Silicon Carbide in a Nickle matrix.Aluminum and aluminum oxide are not the same thing. The oxide is very hard. Aluminum metal is rather soft.

Wow, silicon carbide is some HARD stuff ... also known as carborundum, they make sharpening stones out of it.Cylinders are mostly Aluminum coated with Silicon Carbide in a Nickle matrix.
In part, that's why plated cylinders last a very long time. Especially in a low stress motor like a chainsaw. They other part is the hold oil better than other bore materials like cast iron.Wow, silicon carbide is some HARD stuff ... also known as carborundum, they make sharpening stones out of it.
