This thread has taken a turn to my oil consumption problem. Well, I took of my PCV valve to check it out. Luckily I have medium sized asian hands and was able to do it with minimal hassle. Anyways, the valve was perfectly clean and functioning properly. After I put it back I did some engine reving to see if my engine smokes. I noticed the first rev I made some black smoke came out and may be leaving tiny black spots on the garage floor. After that first one it didn't seem to smoke at all. I dont know, but i drove 2000 miles in 1 month and lost 1.5 qts. That seems like an awful lot of oil. My 94 accord didn't use any and my old b16 crx didn't either, so it's got me a little concerned.
Oh, the whistle is still there. It almost sounds like it's coming from around the top of the manifold by the fuel rail...definately closer to the throttle body side. I looked at the vacuum lines that I could see and none of them seemed loose or anything. WTF?
