3/8 lp vs standard 3/8 chain and bar

[Dilz]

Running a echo cs620 with a standard solid 20"  on the small log mill. 

Picked up a couple of extra chains and realised id ordered the low profile chains instead of the the standard. 

 

Will these chains be alright on the standard 3/8 procket and a standard (non LP bar)? I have milled one log with it and it seemed to work but would rather skip learning the hard way that it will wear out my sprockets after a short while.

The 3/8" distance along the straight bar is the same, but because there is less material between the rivet and the bottom of the link the way they sit on the sprocket as it goes round the corner is different.

If you read around the internet people's opinions seem to differ on how it will run but I wouldn't do it myself, you really need LP drive rim and bar sprocket to have proper running with LP chain.

Thanks - yeah I did a lot more research then actually had a proper look and due to the difference in the tang the LP chains don't sit right on the bar nose sprocket, so reckon its gonna cause stuff to wear and risk chain breakage so just ordered a couple of standard 3/8 lengths.
