get rid of the fse as well, no gains from it and it will run slightly rich which will lose power. got a standard one if you want it.

Why should i have to keep filling it up with oil every few weeks or so?
Doesn't exacly look good when im blowing smoke out when i put my foot down....
If you'd rather put ur foot down with half a cloud of smoke coming out of your exhaust, well thats you, to me i'd rather have it all running good....... so yeh, dave, its had new cambelt ..etc unsure about gasket.. know it had a few bits n bobs

erm
if you leave valve stem seals to leak eventually you will get a build up of oil around the valve seat that burns and gets hard. this will cause the valve not to seat correctly and during the compression stroke its likely to lose compression which will lead to a loss of power.
also, a combustion chamber that burns oil does not burn the fuel/air mix as effectively, especialy when the oil is warm. it wont be a clean burn and this will also lose you power. eventually the stem seal will fail further and burn more oil and lose more power.
might as well stick some 2 stroke mix in with the petrol
