Quick question, Burning oil

hey guys hows everyone doing, i have a question here, my car burns oil, a **** load of it, i have to refill the oil TWICE a week, its ridiculous, the oil is costing me more then my gas =), its not leaking the oil i checked everywhere, even when i'm driving it isnt leaking i checked that as well, its not smoking or anything exept when i rev it above 4 thousand, then its smokes a little blue smoke, but nothing major that would burn all my oil twice a week, i'm planning on doing an ls swap sometime next month, so im not THAT worried about the oil burning, but id still like to know why its burning so much, by the way its a stock 92 dx 5 speed, thanks in advance guys. much appreciated,

Zoli G ///

Blue smoke=blown headgasket
Yet removing a spark plug. Is it soaked in oil? Any trace of oil on it?

no there is no oil on it, i changed the head gasket about 2 months ago, that should be ok still, i changed it because i thought that was the problem of the oil burning, but it didnt sove the problem

Buddy, I feel your pain, I go through about half a litre a week on my SiR. I see no smoke either, and the oil burning just started like a month ago. I've been putting Lucus Oil Stabilizer in it, and its helping a bit. I also switched to 10w30.

Any else have suggestions on what else I can do? Except for rebuilding the engine.

that sux. put a litre of some 15w40 or some 20w50. or some lucas oil stabilizer. it will burn slower lol. if you run the 20w50 don't put to much in there because the oil ports on honda's are really small, they can't handle really thick oil.

Blown o'rings or something a'lomg that line. Obviously something's wrong if your going throught that much oil. Did you do the HG right?? Did you make sure the block was'nt warped?? Who knows.
