Default Excessive oil usage GSR

My 1999 GSR with 88,000 miles burns oil - one quart every 300-500 miles. Car has been used but not abused. Several people told me that this problem can be common on GSR engines. If so, what is the fix - piston rings or valve seals? Thank you.

You'll need to find a compression tester. With a little research you can learn how to identify either a piston ring problem or a valve problem.

And welcome to Honda-Tech. By the way I was just in Omaha a little over a week ago.

Thanks. I'll try to find a compression tester. There was an ITR event several weeks ago in Glenwood, IA, I understand. Was out of town and missed it.
