Burning oil just wondering if anybody knows of anything that will stop or reduce a motor burning oil?

I should have added, chris, find out where the oil is coming from first. It can only get into the cylinders from a very few places, from the bottom-past the rings, or from above-the valve openings, intake and exhaust, or conceivably a break in the head gasket.. And that's it. A valve job or cylinder head job (top end refresh, as Haynes sometimes calls it) is no big deal compared to a complete overhaul. But nothing will really help short of fixing it .I'd recommend a compression test on the engine. It may or may not tell you where the oil is getting in to burn, but it will certainly tell you if the overall condition of the engine is worth a few dollars in repairs, or not al all.
