ticking and smoking
my motor is a b16a2. its burning like a quart of oil every couple days. Recently, it developed a more defined ticking sound. I also notice it to be running a bit weak compared to my last em1. and it also idles anywhere from 300 - 700ish. I have been told a couple things, either piston rings or valve seals. I have not had a chance to really inspect it at all, since I had been unemployed. so I've Basically been scraping my money to make my payments. But, i did just get hired at Sears. haha so since i'll be making some money again, i want to have a direction to go towards.
I also need a new cat and o2 sensors which is what my CEL is on for if that helps at all.
Any help would be appreciated!

Re: ticking and smoking
Alright, i'll do that this week. lets assume it turns out good what then?
also, three other notable issues. when i turn my lights on, it idles lower, and ticking gets louder. I also just had my alternator belt squeal, so i'll tighten it tonight when i get home. i also notice when my A/C is on, i loose a lot of power. But, that may be a whole other situation and the A/C is not a huge concern at the moment, since i live in wisconsin and its not terribly hot

Re: ticking and smoking
For the lights being on, they are HID's and also fog lights, so i'm guessing thats why im drawing extra power. Get a new alternator? and i'll check up on lost motion assemblies. Thanks!
