Are you burning oil at all, first think that comes to mind is valve seals.

 

Not burning any oil here that I can tell... seems to be running fine.... Plugs are tanish brown....

 

nope

i thought the valve seals too, but there is no smoke coming from my car, and i know what a car with bad seals does lol.

i have no idea where its coming from, u can tell that it isnt the valve cover because there is no oil on it

 

You would think that it would just heat up and smoke off, whatever it is... But it never seems to no matter how hot the motor gets ... Strange...

 

exactly,

thats why i want to figure it out, it makes no sense.

 

You sure you're valve cover gasket isn't leaking a bit of oil somewhere?

 

My valvecover is not leaking anything. Its a new gasket n I used Hondabond on it. It really doesnt make any sense whatsoever because it should just burn off... Only it doesnt.

I saw something about this in the all motor forum. Go ask in there I'm sure they will be able to answer that question.
