Default I would never start an oil thread
But I will ask about what spark plug you guys are running in your "Flatties".......Currently I am using NKG's (B6L) which seem to be to doing the job quite well.....Mine is a 1969 and uses the 14mm thread.....I have found the prices of some of the original 18mm early plugs quite interesting.......
