So i have been running an LS/VTEC in my car for about 8 months and it has always burned oil. But recently it has gotten really bad. It was at about a quart every week and a half. The bottem end was rebuilt but not by a very reputable shop i came to find out afterwards. The bottem end was stock except PR3 pistons. the head was all stock internally.I was also running a skunk2 program. The motor was never tuned (yea i know =/ ) I decided to swap out my motor for a 99 b20z until i can rebuild my ls/vtec. my question is can anyone tell me from the pics where i was burning oil? It is most likely the piston rings but a second opinion would be nice. I doubt it was the valve seals the head is a 98. Any help would be great. Now on to the pics

check the valve seals in the head..... get the head rebuilt also when your getting the bottom end rebuilt.

 

thanks for the suggestion. Can anybody tell if i was running too rich or too lean?

 

 

seems like it was runnin' rich

 

It looks like it was running pretty rich

 

hahhahahaha WTF

 

yea im sure the car was running very rich with the skunk2 chip. Oh and that pose is JDM come on everyone is doing it

 

what the hell do you use for coolant or radiator fluid.. haha looks like hell inside there.

 

i had a coolant leak for a long time that i couldnt find so i had to stop using anti freeze for about a month and only use water and thats what happens lol.
