Hey everyone. Im thinking about buying back an 89 civic si 1.6 from my roommate, I had it a year ago and replaced the head gasket (after it blew pretty dramatically), radiator, and distributor and got it smogged here in cali. It ran strong for about 6months but now burns and blows a good amount of oil, just tryin to figure out the best way to diagnose the problem then fix it. I was gonna buy a new head and throw it on but I'm afraid it could be the rings..any advice would be great...thanks
