Default Oil consumption

I have this oil consumption issue for a while and i tried to minimize the oil consumption by replacing PVC, Distributor O-ring, Vtec filter, Valve cover gasket so basically fixed all the leaks. The engine still consume about 1 litre of oil every 1000 miles (stock B16A engine). I have pull the cylinder head out and took some pictures, i wonder from the pictures below. Any idea as to where the oil consumed??

Cylinder head




Engine block




Alot of built up from the bad PVC.
The intake port


The exhaust ports have alot of carbon built up. Thanks!!

Should have done a leak down test prior to pulling the head, that way you could have known what was wrong and where oil was passing through.

has the motor been apart/head gasket changed before? looks like there's copper spray on the head but not the block deck

I had the head gasket changed once, it was replaced by 2 layer Spoon head gasket. I don't know about the copper spray, maybe my mechanic spray it on last time.

Rebuild time. Looks like your oil control rings are done.
