I have a 1999 honda civic si with a d16y8. I have to fill it up every 2 days and there is very little oil around the engine bay. Any input would be appreciated I have redone the oil pan gasket and the valve cover gasket as well

Does the car smoke when you drive it? or at start up? see if you have smoke coming out the back.

ehh.. burning oil that fast isn't a good sign

How many miles is that?
10 miles? 800?

It doesn't smoke and I usually drive about 200 to 300 Km. i checked under the car and there was oil by the crank shaft seal but there is a slight burnt smell like oil cooking

My question is how TF you have a single cam in a SI?!
That car you have isn't a si. D16y8 is from a EX model.
Just stating the fact.

Canadian Si = USDM ex
Canadian SiR = USDM Si
That's how.

OP's post above yours states "kms," alluding to the fact that OP resides in Canada.

That's what I was wondering when I bought the car but in Canada the si has a d16y8 the sir has a b16

It's a popular swap. It's been swapped in for sure. Does it say "SiR" on the cluster? If it doesn't say SIR someone swapped in the B16.

It's a Canadian si. it hasn't been swapped the Canadian sir has the b16

Your contradicting yourself in that post. If it IS a Canadian Si then it HAS been swapped with the B16. If it is an AMERICAN Si it has NOT been swapped and it is an OEM b16.

So, your saying it's a Canadian Si, someone has swapped the engine.

Sorry I wasn't clear. in Canada the civic si has a d16y8 known as a civic ex in the states the civic Sir in Canada has the b16 and is known in the states as the civic si unless Wikipedia and other sites are wrong

To the OP, check for smoke coming out the tail pipe. It might go undetected if you're checking by looking through your rear view mirrors. Have a friend start up your car while you stand behind it.
I had a similar problem with a Mazda Protege5. I switched my head gasket (not to be confused with valve gasket) and that was a temporary fix. I started burning through oil again later on and I ended up junking the car. I think your block might be ever so slightly warped.
Did you ever overheat the engine?

I'm sorry. I got this thread mixed up with another one and I thought you had a B16.. my bad

No prob. And I haven't overheated the car. I'm not sure about the owner who had the car before me. I'm in the middle of replacing the crank shaft oil seal which was surrounded by oil and the base of the dip stick tube

I found out that the piston rings are gone so I'm going to the wreckers and looking for another d16y8
