Blue Smoke

Ever time I down shift or engage VTEC the person behind me always informs me of large amounts of smoke, I thought this was alright from a perforamnce honda just burning off ex fuel so I didn't think anything of it. Over a period of time I noticed that I was going through oil ery fast and noticed it was blue smoke(burning oil) instead of black. I am thinking of replacing the rings on the pistons because thats what we would do on some support Equipment in this case. I wanted to get a second opiion of what could be wrong. Before a take the time to do all this work yall know a lot more about hondas then I do. but then again its the flipside when dealing with equipment on a Aircraftcarrier.

probably old rings, but then again it could be something worse. I would assume it's rings until you get the thing open. Wouldn't hurt to go ahead and change your head gasket/any small oil gaskets while you've got the thing opened up.

my civic is doing the same thing..... (d16z6) although, my whole bumper and everything are always covered in black stuff.... but when it smokes, it is blue... i think mine is running rich,and have old rings (145,000 miles)

besides replacing the rings a fuel pressure regulator sjould help your ish from running rich all the time I need one too cuz I smell gas a lot when I punch it

Had the exact same problem on my Sol. All I did is changed the PCV valve and bottom hose to the valve from the engine block. The valve and hose were pluged and presure was building in the crankcase and pushing oil thru seals and passed the rings and would smoke blue during high revs
