BURNING OIL...
last week i noticed i almost had no oil in my car and my valves were ticking. the oil was black, as well. i changed the oil this past saturday and hoped for the best. today, i got on the throttle a bit, which i rarely do, and after smelled burnt oil. i checked, this is 4 days after now, and it was half way gone and black again. what could be going on? what could i have fucked? what should i try? anyone have a B16 theyre willing to part with....for free? ok, yeah, im lame, i know....thanks in advance...

Re: BURNING OIL... (Gerbilo)
radiator doesnt seem to have any oil. coolant overflow has a small amount of what looks to be just nasty coolant and water...but it is dark as hell, so there is a possibility that there is a slight amount is there...although id probably be able to tell because of the chemical reaction. either way...what do you think? were you thinking blown head gasket? if theres a problem im hoping its just the head. i still here the valves ticking from time to time... thanks for the help, much appreciated...

If i were you i would just pop the head off and check piston wear cuz it sounds like rings..and while ur at it grind the valve seats..cuz i had the same problem and i replaced piston rings,head gasket and grinded the valves and it fixed my problem..just a thought anyways

I was just wondering becaue if you have a blown headgasket you'd see a mix of oil/coolant.
