check your oil level on the dipstick periodically. If it's low consistantly it may be a leak somewhere and it's burning up or could be bad rings.

Remove your oil cap and check to see if you have any white death under the valve cover. You may need a headgasket.

bad valve seals, does it only smoke when you start off from a stop and under hard acceleration? Or does it smoke all the time when you are driving it, if its just under those two conditions that could be your problem

if the valves weren't seated properly wouldn't his car run like crap? I mean if the valves were seated right wouldn't air get past them, loosing compression? Sounds to me like either the valve seals need to be replaced or maybe the rings are a little worn.
Do a compression test and a leakdown test. A comp test will tell you which cylinder has the problem and leakdown test will help diagnose what the problem actually is.
Also, check to see if there is any coolant in your oil, or oil in your coolant. Does your oil look like chocolate milk?

Re: b16a2 smoking problem. (zman)
no the oil is clean that is the first thing i checked and the coolent still looks as new as it was when i put the motor in. i have a buddy whose a honda tech up here said it might be the valve seals but i really dont feel like taking the head off. but why would i get a strong oil burning smell
