WASSUP ALL

this is my first post, therefore i am a newbie at this. I have an 89 Integra with 104,000 miles on it and it is starting to burn oil, do i need to get a new or rebuilt motor? any help would be appreciated.

Check the valve guides first, then the piston rings.
You shouldn't need a new motor.
I've got 161,000 miles on my 89 and it's running great.

thanks for the advice, is this something a mechanic should do or can a novice (me) do it?
