Check the PCV valve and the tube is not plugged.

Its VTEC, not VTECH!!

Check to make sure there's vacuum on the PCV. Do a compression test to see the well being of your head gasket.
If all is good then maybe some else that ran into this rare problem could help.
Good luck.

Is it a stock air "cleaner" or an aftermarket cone "cleaner". Is it a short ram intake "cleaner", or a cold air intake "cleaner" We need to know this info about your "cleaner" so we can have an idea of what we are working with. And yeah, its VTEC, not VTECH. But you already know that, says so right up there.

vtec engages at 2500 rpm in the f23a1

its a cold air intake, theirs no exhaust on it but iv had 4 other cars that had no exhaust it didnt hurt them could that be y (vtec) is hittin so late or could that cause the oil in my intake some one said a back fire could cause it

Well oil will get into the CAI near the throttle body because of the hose that connects to the valve cover. Now if its an excessive amount that could point to a problem. SOME oil is fairly normal, but a lot isnt.

theirs alot its leaking through my filter what kind of problem would that indicate
my friend thinks its bad rings but this motor only has 60k well thats what i was told any way

So its leaking from the filter itself? That COULD suggest rings, unless its red oil then that means someone over oiled the filter. If its black, that could indicate your rings are bad and allowing excessive blow by and shooting oil thru the VC port.

its black im going to try changing the oil and useing some engine restore i used it in my saturn worked awesom for the valve seats in that and maybe it will work for the rings if not ill just put an h22 in it
