burning oil??
 

well past couple of days h vae had to refill my oil every day almost cause when i pull it out on the dipstick it like reads bone dry. also there is a fair amount of black/gray smoke coming out of my exhaust. What is causing this to happpen i heard from some people it could be the valve seals or the springs??

yeah i think so that might cause the problem for sure.

Check your coolant to see if it has oil in it.

hey well there isnt any in there.. i just had it flushed out about a week ago it was kinda dirty looking but nothin like oil and its still clean. it goes in the shop on the 18th at honda to see wat they can find out.

Piston rings are toast. Check your compression to be sure, but that's probably it. My condolences.

thanks man. i figured that might be the problem. well 2 more days and it will be in the shop to see wat they can find. hopefully it isnt anything that is goin to kill me on $..

Piston Rings. Trust me my civic had the same problem. it was 57.19 for a set of rings. and you need 4. so it will cost you, but its a good thing to have done.

oh update.. they found nothin wrong! ya i was like thats weird. they think i was runing the wrong spark plugs that wat was cauin my car to mess up so i swtiched my boush platumn 4's to NGK now and they timed my vavles cause they was way out of adjustment. but thas it

Word

is your car fine now or still messing up?

it runs a lot better. They said the vavles were way out of time and they got that done and now my cr actually has power. and it also starts a lot better and i get better acceleration now. i think that the car couldnt handle that much spark the boush were putting out or somethin.. but ya it runs good.. goes in the shop tommrrow for a clutch master cylinder.. i am leaking grease everywhere!!!!

darn. well i hit someone so i may being to a Teg swap sooner. so i can do it all at once. read the thread hit and run in civic forum.

I may see if your car problem is what my civic is having. its burning a little to a lot of oil here and there. Calling Honda now....
