Well, how is it making the exhaust damp on your OPE then? Some oil must escape combustion. Try running 20:1 for a tank, you will see that more oil ends up on your exhaust. I doubt you'll melt a piston unless your motor is running quite lean at 50:1, but in some cases, 2-3% less gas by volume may make a difference.
