I've put almost 600 miles on the engine (with a fair amount of hard running)
and have yet to see any problems whatsoever w/ the 2-stroke conversion.  I'm
going a little on the heavier side of the 128:1 ratio (simply because I have
to guess at the gas station) but everything seems to be working fine (knock
on wood).  It gets some strange attention during fillup, too.  The exhaust
smells a whole lot cleaner, too.

Again, thanks for the tip.

George Graham, of RX7 gear box fame, admitted at Oshkosh he forgot 
to add oil and flew from Memphis TN to Buffalo NY. Apparently no ill 
affects on the engine so far (75 hours or so later).
Of course he might not notice some minor scratching of the rotor
housings. You would never get away with this in a piston
engine.
