They really work those reed valves.The BMW airhead reed valve is my favorite. Along with silicone gaskets, yamabond, pliobond and oversize O rings - my Atlas hasn't leaked in years.
I use Castrol R oil and found you needed to use carb cleaner or similar every few months just to ensure the caster based oil didn't stick it closed.
