It's different strokes for different folks. Lake Speed believes in oil being the cheapest way to save the engine. it does make some sense. a 4 stroke runs in full motor oil with a soft crank and rod. We take a 2 stroke and starve it for oil but run a hard crank and rod. the 820 piston weight far exceeds the rest of the fan cooled class and the foreign s. We spin ours at about 12,500 so we expect to see more issues that others won't see. Please note i don't recommend others spin their 820's that high as it will not stay together. I have some changes we make that allow this. However it takes it's toll on the crank vs. the rod breaking.
