Default 00 Civic Burning Oil

Right now its at a quart per every 700-1000 miles, what can I do

My first thought was engine swap but some cheaper solutions would be great. But if the other option is rebuild what are some good engine sites for Hondas? I haven't worked much with their cars since 04 so I'm really out of the loop on it.

So you are sure that it is burning, and not leaking anywhere, right? If not leaking, it could be your pistons rings, or valve seals. How many miles are on your motor?

I haven't seen any oil spots on the driveway, and no visible oil on the motor.

It has ~160k.

have you experienced any unusual loss of power? smoke coming from the exhaust when you drive?
