Hi,
I run a BB in my Darrian rallycar, i usually run around 1/2 litre of oil above full mark to compensate my use of the standard sump. Main bearing
number 3 likes plenty of oil and is usually the first area to start screaming at you if starved.
Try and achieve around 60lbs of oil pressure at 3,000 rpm (when engine is warm) which is a good indicator of sound oil pressure.
I personally run the Silkolene 10w 40 fully race synthetic and never had a problem.
I used to use Honda Fireblade clutch springs but have now gone to a drag bike competition spring set and never missed a beat. Use genuine Honda clutch
plates as the after market cheap ones are not worth the hype imho.
Standard Honda spark plugs are fine.
Oh, and wiring it up to start is a total doddle If you need info, pm me
Good luck !

Hi
In my previous blackbird car i also ran about 10% extra oil with an accusump had no problems,
