my civic em1 86000 on the clock . is eating oil like a monster. did a compression test at honda dealer came back 1. 205psi 2.200psi 3.200psi 4.206psi. so as far as i know all is good. but that leaves the problem of where the oil is going?????????? plus there is no oil leaks. any ideas????

Smoke! Color? Where your oil is going. Compression does not mean no oil burn.

Oil rings, valve seals and guides. The thread and your response were at the same time, so you will get most of the answer there.
