So, who's got a solution to the oil burning besides RE boring?
I've read the westman oil mod thread. Does his machine still use oil?

Got it!Hi Jason,
I agree on the 17 tooth issue. I have installed a couple of them and they give me that tingly feeling. The sprocket guard requires a fair amount of added clearance, too, which I like to do with heat and deformation rather than cutting bits away.
The sprocket I am using is a JTR487.38. It is a steel sprocket.
This was about the best price I found on it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/392502337816 which seems to be an ongoing BIN item.
Well, there was this one and, for $8, I was almost tempted to order it and see what it was. https://www.amazon.com/JT-Sprockets-JTR487-38-39-Tooth-Sprocket/dp/B0068O8FWW?th=1
All in all, it seemed to be in the 'Too good to be true' category.
