Hmmmm. Might be too thick, keeping it from working its way down into the
ring grooves, which I'd definitely want it to do. Also, it's gotta burn off
pretty readily once the car is started again, and I have no idea what chain
saw oil would do there.
One time when I had an engine apart, I coated just about everything I could
with STP -- not just the bearings (for which STP is just great) but the
cylinder walls, valve seats, you name it. When it came time to start 'er up,
it would NOT start. It was so determined not to start that I thought I had
miffed something, was double-checking ignition wiring, cam timing, etc.
After a serious amount of wear on the starter, the thing actually started to
give the occasional "putt", and with a considerable amount more coaxing (and
squirting fuel down the intake) it finally busted off, but wouldn't go above
1000 RPM, even floored, for several seconds while it poured dense smoke out
the exhaust. It actually took a few minutes of running to totally clear up,
by which time it was running just great. That STP does NOT wash off easily!
