Like the others say, check the valve stem seals. Pretty easy if you're comfortable with cars and you know how to change a timing belt. Seals alone for a 8v car should be like 8 bucks or so. Thing with honda's are they tend to eat oil regardless but not like you said.
[I'm in no way liable for what you do to your car]
It's fairly easy. Take stuff off that's connected to the valve cover. change the gasket while you're at it. Remove Timing belt. Remove camshaft. remove lifter, use valve spring compressor tool (the one that's made to be used while the head is bolted on to the car. pull out retaining clip pull the valve out with the seal. Change it and to install, do the opposite of removal. Make note on how the cam was placed in. Time it (get it at tdc, two full revolutions from the crank. Let it idle for 20 minutes and check the tension(if it's a manual tensioner, check it regardless) you'll most likely need to re-tighten it. check it every day for a week or so, then after a month it really shouldn't loose tension and you'll be fine.
Use the thickest oil that you can use to reduce oil burn, but it's thicker, which isn't so good for economy.
or go to a junkyard and pull out the same motor and drop it in lol.
Good luck, i hope for the best!!
