[QUOTE="Matty, post: 134146, member: 1339"] Hi There was a lot of activity on this subject on the forum in October /November 2016 concerning my Comet oil consumption - Just search "Alan Matthews Comet Oil consumption" for details on my and others information on the oil consumption issue. As you will see, we considered porous head castings and resin sealing the head, which I carried out using a cleaned head, then treatment hot with loctite 290 to seal the pores with a new inlet sealed guide etc., also de glazed the bore There are no significant oil leaks and this has resulted in my now 600 miles per pint. Other riders have had similar problems and after deciding a head was porous, have only been able to fix very high consumption by buying a new and very expensive head - I decided buying the odd pint of oil was a better option.
