..glad to see that your crystal ball is working...

No Crystal ball needed. As I said, and is obvious, every bit of fresh oil going into the engine flows past the inlet valve seat. If you want more oil in the intake valve use a higher percentage oil in your fuel. Simple.

I have never, even in the highest time Saito engines (or OS for that matter), seen a model engine valve worn to the extent you mentioned in your 50 hour OS. Since I have an OS brand crystal ball with a blown transistor I can't be sure, but I think an inlet air filter would help you more than additional oil.

So why haven't I fixed my crystal ball? OS wants too much money for the replacement part.

This is ALL on topic. Exhaust emissions are a hot subject. As stated in another thread California has already outlawed two stroke engines in lawn equipment, they're probably putting the eyeball on model engines as we speak.
