Heres an interesting question.
Are these motors supposed to sound like sewing machines?
My little Crv did, but I kinda expected it to. The engine WAS a sewing machine.

Mine sounds almost like a small diesel. I know another guy with the same year and his sounds the same also. They sure have plenty of power though!

Yeah I know. I like the power, and the ride, just not the damn oil thing. I was thinking I had it under control. And I didnt.... SO im back to checking every other day...

I thought the oil issue ended with the 2000 model year?

My '00 Trooper has been a complete POS since I had the motor replaced due to oil consumption. I've finally got a shop that has their heads screwed on straight fixing what the other dealer f'ed up.

The sewing machine sound could be due to the IMG. It may need to be replaced. When it starts to leak it makes a bit of a hissing sound. But it will not effect performance, just slightly on the mileage.
