Is it normal to have a very light coating of oil around the inside of inlet ports??
Just had to remove the manifold and there’s a little oil sat there..
It doesn’t burn any, zero smoke even under full load and the head has recently been fully reconditioned with new everything !! Including viton stem seals

No, it's not normal, however, can I ask are you 100% sure it is Oil and is there a possibility it may have run in from elsewhere, eg, the rocker cover gasket or even the carb dashpot?

Hi,

Is it oil being sucked in from the breather system?

Cheers  :proud:​

Is it sufficient quantities to have come from the carb or rocker cover?

It might just be fuel or water mixed with carbon?
