Help with swap problem....

ok so a buddy of mine and I just swapped a B18C1 into his 98 civic EX. Everything runs awesome, but the only problem is it burns about 4 quarts of oil every 3000 miles, and the strangest part is we can't find an oil leak anywhere :screwy: we were thinking it might be the rings. anyone els have any other ideas as to what could be causing the problem....
thanks

is it smoking bad? because losing that much oil that quick is no where near normal...

no not that i know of.

well, youd know it if it was....so that tells me there is a leak somewhere... i would washt the engine down real good and top the oil off. then run the car for a while (dont drive it cuz then the air swerling in the engine compartment may move the oil stream..) and shut the car off and let it cool dow then try and find the spot that has the oil...

Oh ya....is there any oil in your engine coolant?

i dont know about the coolant because it's not my car and i havent seen him since he's started having the problem. i've just heard about it..... if there was oil in the coolant, what would that mean?

head gasket most likely

i had the same problem. but not that bad. it turned out to be a piston ring and my head gasket. do a compression test. and i would change the head gasket.
