Hey whats up guys? Got some questions! I gotta 89 Hatchback with a 1.6 Si. MY manager told me to put some lucas oil stabalizer in my car along with oil. I put it in last nite and today when i started it up and drove it to school, it was and still is burning oil like a mofo!. It was kinda funny and kinda embarrassing. IT was funny b/c im sititng there covering people in smoke and they cant do nothing about it lol! Any help is greatly appreciated!!! thanks guys!

If the rest of the car is in good shape, do a swap. Hint hint: even a fresh rebuild with some decent parts will make the car something special... ie. z6 metal headgasket, all new gaskets, clutch, flywheel, intake, header, exhaust. You can go b-series too if you have the motivation for it...

I would love to do a motor swap or even a rebuild but i cant afford it. I already have an intake, header, exhaust and new clutch and flywheel. I was gonna replace the head gasket, header gasket, valve cover gasket, the piston rings and the bearings but thats too much work for me and i dont how to do it in the first place. the gaskets i could do but the rings and bearings i couldnt. I wish i could do a motor swap im tired of my slow ass d16!

well, if you're not prepared to swap motors, or rebuild w/ new rings and valve seals, you're going to have to live w/ the oil kid.
Try using non-synthetic if you already aren't. Synthetic oil is more slipper and has a tendency to get past the piston rings more. Go with castrol oil 10w30 non synthetic. You will definitely burn less oil, unless of course your valve seals are bad!

I say do a rebuild. Replacing all the seals and gaskets really won't cost that much. I have a spare A6 block I will sell you cheap. Has pistons, rods, and crank. So you could rebuild it, then just slap it in and bolt your head on.

get a new longblock. just swap and go.
