CB350/400 / Acceptable / normal oil consumption
« on: September 14, 2022, 11:10:37 AM »
What would be considered normal for a 350/400 sohc?
I've done 500 miles of running in new pistons and rings, the bores were properly machined and honed and I know that my valve guides are on the upper end of the serviceable limit.
Oil level is just above the min mark on dipstick after 500 miles. Is this acceptable or should I really get the head reconditioned?
I'll be honest I can't detect any smoke from the exhausts in my mirrors while riding or at idle but my friend said the other day there's a faint haze when I'm giving it the beans.
Cheers
