thirsty for oil?

[Truenotch]

the thing is once you have thrashed a 16V regularly and kept it topped up etc, you appreciate how awesome these engines are that they just happily use a bit of oil and still take a thrashing. one of those 'you won't believe it till you try it' things.

only need to rebuild a 16V if it runs bearings pretty much. (or throws a rod )

16V smallports are just awesome.

I think so too .

next time i buy oil im gone buy 20w40ish

Dont put a 20W oil in it, its too thick when cold and you wont get the protection. As suggested, use a 15w40 or even a 10w50 or 15w50, as its a bit thicker when at operating temp which is probably when its burning it
