But somehow you can guess what's wrong with my car and that's OK?

I'm not going to spend another penny on this car since it's "within spec" according to Acura. When burning 1L of oil every 1500KM is "within spec" it makes you wonder what the tolerances are for everything else. Maybe it's OK for for the airbags to deploy once every 5 collisions...
Where in my post did I ever "guess" what was wrong with your car?? I only suggested what might be wrong. I'm "guessing" you don't like hearing suggestions to your problems.

Your first post in this thread was a guess, and when someone who has had this exact same problem as me and went through the solution you recommended, you told him his experience must be flawed because you're a lead tech, and lead tech's don't guess.

Anyhow, I'm surprised you're even thinking there's a problem, since my engine is still in spec according to Acura. How do you fix something that is working properly? They could replace the seals and I could go from 1 liter every 1500 KM to 1 liter every 1200 km and that would still be in spec. I think there's a problem, but I'm not going to spend $1000 for a head job when there's no guarantee that it will get any better. They're all just guessing at this point and it's an expensive game I'm not willing to play.

I'm just going to sell the car and move on. If you'd like to buy it from me and figure it out for yourself, let me know!

Guessing is saying things like, "It's your valve seals, go get them replaced and it will fix the problem." I merely said, "I would check the valve seals in the head."

Anyhow, do what you want and I hope you are happy with your decision. Thanks for the for sale offer but I will pass on it.

I have a 04 TSX 6mt with 97k miles. No problems with burning oil right now. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.
