ok, i'm going to be nice and not flame you. think about this, did the b18c5 come factory in an '01 integra? if you got the motor out of a '94 integra with 1,000 miles on it would you still believe the engine had only 1,000 miles. not likely. someone swapped in the engine and beat it to shit. then sold it to you.I do sometimes get on it but only once a day (getting on the freeway).You might be right about the mileage but I did see the car it came out of and the odometer showed 27,000 could it be the oil I run in it? 5w 30 full senthetic.
if i was you, luckily i'm not, i would check the compression. you will probably have low compression in at least 1 cylinder. then i would pull the motor, put in new piston rings in and upgrade the head gasket. change the water pump and timing belt while you have it out. odds are you have a bad ring that is leaking oil. if you hear a tapping from your engine, you could have bad valves also. being revved extremely high by the previous owner would cause that.
yes, you are right. i wasn't thinking correctly.Normally its not the valves that go bad (as that would be low compression and not a loss of oil) but its the valve seals that leak and cause you to burn oil.

If he let it sits for years, then that can dry out seals. Cars that are stored are suppose to be started every once in a while.
