...i read somewhere that 195 all across considered normal for the KA24DE?the car is a 95 with right under 170xxx on the motor.

the car has been burning oil since i bought it( about a year and a half ago, but I noticed its getting worse..im going through a quart of oil every 3-4 weeks...and it has its days when it blows thick light blue smoke.

im pretty confident its my rings that are worn.

****what would be my next best move from here?

how much longer should i drive on it?.. whats the worst that could happen.. (other than blowing the motor)

I was planning on driving it for a while, while saving for either another KA. or SR..

I thought id ask the guys who know KAs best
