PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just built my LS VTEC. It is running and running great, except for one thing. It burns the odd bit of blue smoke? Is this normal for break in? I am running no cat if that makes a difference or not. Its not all the time, just here and there. Please, please help. There is only 160 kms on the motor.

yep, you say you built it right? did you change anything like pistons rings and such if you did make sure you did NOT use synthetic to break it in.

Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (VTEC CX)
I know blue smoke equals oil!! I have built a few motors and have never had this problem. I have an SIR head that has received CTR cams, ITR valvesprings, ITR intake manifold with a minor p&p and three angle valve job. The block is a 93 Integra B18A with PR3 pistons. All new bearings, piston rings, water and oil pump, etc. Everything has been replaced.
I have been told a little bit of burning oil is normal on first initial break in. Is it?? I have no cat so it wont hide any smoke. The motor only has 260 kms on it now and seems to be getting better. Please any advice would be appreciated. I will keep you updated!!
