Iv got a 01 with about 89k on it... It has been burning some oil for about a year now... it only smokes when i hit vtec wich isnt that offten. and its only a lil puff. and friends of mine riding be hind me say it sometimes just puffs while driving. I did a compression test 225:235:223:225 and held pressure. not sure what else it could be ?? any ideas ?

 

Pretty much normal. The motor design squirts oil on the cyl walls...not a bad idea on a car that revs to 8 or 9k.

The early cars do tend to use more oil than the newer cars.

Mine burns about 1qt per 3000 miles.

 

Do you have a TP? If so, very normal.

 

what is a TP?

 

Test pipe(cat delete) Yeah my02 will blow a little smoke when hitting vtec if I havent driven it hard in awhile, and will also(like negcamber said) use about a quart of oil between oil changes

 

is there anything i can do to stop it ?

 

Crank vents can reduce the rate of oil use, but not elimenate it. As mentioned...this is part of the way the F20c engine works.

 

My Krank Vent Valves virtually eliminated all oil consumption..........and I had about a 1 qt per 1000 miles rate of consumption.

I love these things, despite the annoying chirping sound they make at idle. Well worth it in my book.
