hey guys. i did a search and found kind of a base line for what i should be...but it was for a lot of d15b or d16y8. but this is for my d16y7 in a 97 civic hatch. well the motor right now is burning about a quart to a quart and a half of oil about every 1000 miles. I do blow a whitish smoke out of the exhaust and also the bumper and hatch is covered in dry oil spots, but i checked the plugs they are dry. so i did a compression test from left to right i got 110, 95, 90, 100. I dont know if it is too low. what do you guys think? the motor has about 120k miles on it. i also have a d16y8 intake manifold on it. and when i try to do a launch it bogs really bad like it starts off in 2nd gear. but that is a different story. thanks guys

Rings are bad.. If im not mistaken it should be 180 across all 4.. If you have ran it out of oil it can cause this.. anything below 120 is not good..

i have a y7 as well. The rear bumper is covered in oil spot pretty good too. Car runs like the first day i got it. Sometimes it eats oil, other times it goes good. I havent done a compression test, but if im on a hill and leave it in gear it cant hold itself too good. haha pc of junk. Time for a swap once it blows.
