115K on 96 gsr, just switch to castrol GTX high mileage (20w50) and still burning appx 1 quart/1000 miles. we all know this oil is as thick as maple syrup and shouldnt burn much at all, what the hell is going on here? I have heard a rumor about some of our b/h series motors having this problem from the day they were purchased. I am told it has something to do with valve guide clearance. I have not had a chance to do any real research till now, but one of my sources, was a 20 year honda master tech and was unfortunate to own a prelude that cooked oil like it was lard on a diner griddle from the day he bought it (new). is there something I am missing here? could use some help on this before i decide to detonate the c1 for an excuse to buy my c5 sooner. if anyone would like to save my b18c1, please feel free to throw it a knowledge lifeline...

Can someone fill my ignorant *** in as to why/how VTEC burns more oil? I have an idea, but not entirely sure...
