usually on a honda motor, any smoking related or consumption of oil is usually related to rings or turbo seals, FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

I lean towards rings because he said it was a fresh rebuilt motor.
I truthfully don't know much about honda motors. I am just using more general information.

Even on fresh builds honda motors will smoke due to rings more than normal, or is this just a problem you think HE has? On my engine, the engine can see smoke on a fresh built engine due to rings, but not past 2k miles. (inless it was built incorrectly)

As far as the VSS, thats what I was talking about he should have noticed.
