Finally, no oil on spark plugs... Has she finally seated rings?

It’s burned oil since new. Even after rebuild too. Plugs 2 and 5 especially bad. About 5/8 quart every 200 miles. 

Heavy dosed the fuel Yamaha Ring Free and Lucas Top End Oil/Cleaner treatment.. Thinking maybe it would unstick an oil ring or something?
Then ran the old gurl hard, 229 back and forth 2nd gear. Up to redline, decel to force rings into cylinder wall. 

And…. 150 miles later the plugs came out clean!
