Happy to help.
Cheers Dad. All the cylinders are accessible from under the tank though and face upwards, so I think it should be fairly easy to attach the gauge (screw in type) and turn the engine over while reading it. I'll come scouting for help once the kit arrives if it's a problem.

Yes! Pretty sure it is. I would imagine it's the piston seals as that tends to be the culprit with high rev based oil burning, based on my research. I think I'll probably leave it this winter but next winter I may take my first venture into a top end overhaul.
