[QUOTE=JFUSION,Jun 16 2010, 05:03 PM] valve seal rot ?, I personally don't think that would be the case, although they could shrink over time without use.

I had a Honda motor with a bad valve guide seal a few years back, it showed up very definitively as wetness on the spark plug for that cylinder. If you are having oil control issues it might be worth looking at the plugs. It wouldn't hurt to check them either way to make sure they were installed at the proper torque as per the recall notice in the earlier years. (18 ft lbs.).

You don't have an oil consumption problem at all. A quart in 1000 miles would be borderline problem...

never said i have an oil consumption problem, I said im burning oil/some is getting into the combustion chamber. I infact made sure to mention that i am NOT burning an excessive ammount of oil.

Then why are you concerned about it? Some oil consumption is perfectly acceptable, especially in the 2.0 engines.

damn i am having the same problem i been burning oil too and did a compression test and cam out fine and i also wanna replace my vavle seal cuz the head was seating around and the head was off my old motor that had really bad pistion slap and over heated alot ..... and am not really to sure wat it could be the car doesnt smoke while drive and dont have oil on the plugs or build up

if your seals were leaking they would show up on the base of the spark plugs - wet oily appearance vs. dry appearance. Your consumption is likely somewhere else.

then i guess the only thing it can b is the rings
the motor doesnt leak or anything
i know my vavle cover gasket is bad but it shouldnt go threw that much oil
