Oil burning problem
 

My car, a 1990 civic with an LS motor, third gen(94+)
is burning mad oil. But heres the thing, it burns oil at certain times. Heres sum examples:

-Cruising or driving properly(no beating) will not cause any oil burning
-cold start ups, no signs of burning oil
-even driving long distances like on the highway at like 4-5 grand, still no burning

now...

-it burns oil obviosly when im ripping it
-when im on the highway cruising, say there is traffic up ahead, i let of the gas for a couple of seconds, then i hit the gas again, poof, cloud of blue smoke for a second
-when im crusing then i come up to a comlete stop for a light or wutever, as soon as im stopped clouds of blue smoke.

can anyone identify wut is causing this

TIA

valve seals...

Wanna bet??

yup

time to do a ls\vtec!!

yah i also thought valve seals but a buddy said valve seals dont cause too much oil burning....but if u guys say so!!

rings?

My 90 LS integra was the same way.
Didn't burn until I ripped it, etc. Then a valve cracked.

ok so its valve seals or rings....now whos telling the truth lol


EDIT: but if it wuz rings wouldnt it be burning ALL the time??

alright thanks for the info

try a compression test and youll see how your rings are doing.. and if they are a bit low put some oil in the cylinder if it bumps up then your rings are toast

Either valve seals of the rings. Should be the rings. The reason why your car smoke when u are accelerating and let go the gas pedal and then accelerating again and it smokes. That's because there is load on the car.

I have the same motor and almost the exact same symptoms, I was told that it was likely valve seals as well, plus I know my rings are good because I checked the compression and it was perfect on all cyls.
