Default rebuild tips.

Well my 99 si with 130k just keeps eating oil and now i think i have to rebuild. comp test came back 180 across board and leak was 7% all the way too....

Burn about a qrt. every week or more if i drive hard at all. Looked at tops of pistons an coated in CARBON along with the ring of plugs. Only get smoke under HARD acceleration which means oil control rings i guess from what ive heard. GAY maybe put in new valve stem seals and seafoam crap out of it..............from what i read smoke on start up and decel is stem seals and i got neither just HARD accel. ANYthoughts or ideas. Im runnin 5w-30 conventional but i mean like 2 gallons of oil in a month..OMG//Im stumped changed pcv too....




-O well i got a bike till i rebuild it haha pray for no rain. So whats the best parts, kits, set up for bout 900$

-Im not shur if any oem pistons swap in for a comp. bump? I know p30's into a ls motor is good na but i dont know for b16 itr???

-Is a C1-C5 head worth throwing on or just get their valve train hone block and throw her back together??

Default Re: rebuild tips.

I read one interesting thread somewhere. said" oil burn normally starts with valve stem seals then oil builds on control rings and makes them stick "

Sounds reasonable to me i guess but how do you fix it besides rebuild the whole motor.
