Hey all.

I got a 2000 Integra GSR that was burning a lot of oil. I took it to dealership and they said I had a bent valve. My compression in my #2 was like 140 I ended up having a local acuara shop do a complete valve job. Got it back and it ran MUCH better. The compression was 190ish in all 4 cyclinders. The next day I noticed oil all over the engine. I took it back and they found that one of the CAM seals wasnt in right. They fixed that and changed the oil again. Two weeks later, Im low on oil. I put some in. Told the shop about it and they said bring it back in. The checked everything again and said they coudlnt see any issues. They changed the oil again and said to monitor it and let them know. Before I even got to the miliage the asked me to check it again at, I was OUT! I then had someone drive it while I followed and I noticed my car is omitting black smoke (some grey it in, not much at all) constantly! From idel to hitting the gas, black smoke. And it smells kinda sweet being in the car behind it. I called them again and mentioned how upset I was since this was spos to fix my oil comsumption. They said, well it could be your oil rings saying they checked there work three times now and didnt see anything wrong. They asked me to remove my plugs and check for oil. I did that and each plug looked brand new. No oil on the plug at all. I told them that and they said, well its probably not your oil rings after all and asked me to leave my car with them so they could drive it and monitor it them selves. I havent taken it in yet, but will be soon. As it stands the dam thing looses about 1/2qt per 100 miles!!! WTF!

Any suggestions or ideas?


Thanks,
DJ
