Could he be escaping past my piston rings and burning off?
Could he be leaking though a valve?
Where could he be?

Oh a i smoke in VTEC. As soon as i hit VTEC i smoke black and white heavier up to the red line.
Air fuel ratios are at 12.5:1 on WOT and get richer and richer to 10.5:1 at 7800rpm. I assumed im smoking because im running rich.

Mr. Oil is free now!
Power still fine or does it lack of any?
First Guess would be worn out valve stem seals and second would be bad ring lands or rings itself.
Which Parts you are running mate?

I've experienced my mates type s burning oil, slightly less but it couldn't be seen from the drivers seat. It must be burning a lot imho if you can see it yourself.

I think that's why it's running rich. The oil is the extra fuel I'm seeing and sealing the pistons as I'm not experiencing any noticeable loss in power.

Started the car and let it warm up.
Blipped the throttle especially to the higher rpm and I decorated my mum's drive. She always wanted it.

Compression test results
Piston 1 - 210psi
Piston 2 - 210psi
Piston 3 - 170psi
Piston 4 - 210psi

Piston 3 spark plug was black.

I'll get it rebuilt before show season.

Actually not as annoyed as I thought I would be.
