Honda is known for their cast rings that do not have a long service life.
Have a leakdown test done to confirm that the leakage is past the rings. -SP wrote: > Hi i was wondering if anyone could solve my problem .... > > i have a 1989 honda civic with 150 000 km and it is burning oil like > crazy 4 litres a week i think.
