    Before you take the motor apart pull the spark plugs and look at each cylinder and see if there is any oil on top of the pistons. If your are burning the oil as bad as you said you should see oil build up pretty easy on the pistons. If you dont see this more than likly your not burning oil its leaking out while you drive. I place my b18a1 was leaking and I thought it was a rear seal was the o ring on the pcv canister that goes into the block on the right hand side of the oil filter. There is a 10 or 12mm bolt under the black canister thats bolted to the block. Take this off and on top there is a hose disconnect it from the intake intake then pull stright out. There will be an o ring you need to look for.The smoke if it is the oring is from it leaking on your exhaust and thats why you you dont see oil.
