Default Smell Burning Oil When I Hit VTEC

I recently purchased a 94 Prelude Vtec with 110,000 miles. I had the oil changed, the transmision fluid changed, and i cant figure out why i smell buring oil. I oil smell it when hit vtec than the smell goes away. Any maintaince i should do to fix the problem.

nope. its normal. well not normal but its normal for preludes to do this. i've heard that the piston rings let a tiny amount of oil in, only during vtec, and it is burned and smokes out the exhaust.

probably 60-75% of preludes do the exact same thing.
