cannabinoid · 10-28-2014, 01:49 PM

Hey Guys,
I have a 92 Civic CX D15B8 which is burning oil pretty fast, usually when accelerating to higher RPM.
I changed valve seals but it continues to eat oil. I believe my Piston Rings are to blame. My goal is the best MPG possible, I got burned on sale but now want to make the best of it.

I was curious what would be my best value for the money.
Do I get a used Engine, JDM Engine, Rebuild or a Swap (d15b7?) or other?

I have also thought about selling it and buying a VX or an HX, what would you guys do?
Thanks guys I really appreciate it, I feel guilty everytime i see it smoking from my rearview.
