Every engine should burn a little oil. The valve guides need a little oil. The only exit for this oil to the guides is into the combustion chamber for intakes and out the exhaust for exhaust vlvs. Granted, not much but any oil the guides get is burned and if they get none they will gall and stick. The cyl walls need enough to create an oil wedge to prevent metal to metal, a minute amount is lost there also.
