looks like you have a leaky seal somewhere.. are you smoking out of the exhaust? are your spark plugs wet with oil? how does it run?

I'm thinking your engine breathes somwhat through that breather port on the valve cover that u have blocked off , high engine pressures will cause most seals to blow

Yeah, but a block/clogged PCV valve shouldnt do THAT much

That isn't the pcv he has blocked off its the line that is supposed to run to the intake tube. It needs to be vented last time I checked

Remove valve cover and replace gasket.

Grab screw driver and remove the vac line plug from your breather nipple.
That little thing should not be capped.

I'm not 100% on the d series but on a b series, the stock setup, the intake manifold puts a vacuum on the crankcase (lot more to it), that air flows from the valve cover and in a stock setup that is the only place it draws air from, Honda engines also have some high crankcase pressure at high rpm's so it goes both ways, you have effectivly cut off the only supply of air to your internal engine, so it has made it's own way through your seals. Honda put it there for a reason, put it back or it will get worse , I'm
sure many others will vouch for me, especialy the turbo guys

well, if its filling up with oil, then you have bad seals seal that **** up.. a gasket kit with o-rings is only, like, 15 bucks

PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation

the ONLY reason its hooked up to the intake, is because the intake is already filtered air, so why would honda add another filter, when a cheap hose can be used instead to draw in filtered air..

but yeah.. a catch can would be nice.. lol..

I would agree that if it's that bad you probably have pretty serious blow by.
