Re: Buring oil (Hharrishonda)

Depends on when the oil is being burnt...Oil being burnt at higher RPM's is a good indication of worn out rings. Oil being burnt only at startup is a good indication of worn valve seals. Hope this helps...

Could have put the wrong size rings or pistons in or could be another problem. You need to do a leakdown test to discover where you're losing it.
