Blowing smoke. Need advice.

I have a 1999 Integra gs-r and I'm blowing a considerable amount of smoke, mainly when I down shift to slow down and usually have to give the pedal a couple of taps to clear it out completely. I just replaced the spark plugs and there didn't appear to be any oil on them. It consumed roughly 1 quart of oil in the 2 weeks since I did my oil change. I noticed my diaphragm assembly is making noise occasionally (not sure if this has anything to do with it...) I'm hearing alot about valve seals and piston rings and all of that good stuff, but no stories really matching up with mine. Any advice given is much appreciated, I just really need some direction here.

That much oil in a 2 weeks... youre definitely burning oil, considering you see quite a bit of smoke. I would venture to say your seals, guides, or rings are bad. The seals being the simplest and cheapest to replace.

is i burning more when the the engine is cold? that would most likly be your guides then because they espand a small amount when warmed up. what color is the smoke? it could be a head gasket, how is your coolent?

As do I my rings are bad.

I believe the smoke is white, but it really is hard to tell. And it does blow no matter how hot my car is, but I believe it blows more when it gets hotter. As for coolant... that seems fine. It's not contaminated and the level is unchanged. I guess I'm going to start my rebuild, time to put the Haines manual to the test!

looks like someone is due for a rebuild, atleast it gives you a legit excuse to build up your internals a bit

White smoke: Coolant
Bluish/gray smoke: Oil
Black smoke/powder on rear bumper: Excess fuel/running rich.

It most likely is not white, though you are mistaking it for that, if you are going through that much oil
