Rebuilt my engine last year and got it dialed in this year. Am very happy with it, snaps well, sounds great plenty of guts. One question though. When I fill with oil to the full line, it leaks, from the oil filter I think. I have had to add 2 quarts of oil in the last 1,000 to 1,500 miles. It does not burn, as I've checked start up, no smoke, and the plugs. had a friend follow it, and no smoke. It is solid. Now, this may be unrelated, as I tightened the filter by hand a bit. It wasn't loose, but I was checking for where it could be leaking from. I hae the spin on adapter, and was going to check to make sure it's tight. Also, replaced the O ring on the adapter to block mating surface. Anyway, when it leaks down to the add mark, it stops leaking. I do not see a leak anywhere but under the filter. The oil pressure is still great, 50 lbs at 3,000 at temp. Is there any problem running it at the add mark as long as there is no pressure fluctuation? I know when I raced carts, we'd run them at the low end of oil capacity, but that's a different animal.
