Lot of oil blowbqck In the air intake. Like half a quart a day. And the oils pressure gaguge goes from find to zero to a little bit above half to just all over the place I've replaced the PVC thing and all new hoses and replaced the oil sending unit and also did an oil chancge. The ticking is loudest when in fiat second and third at the high rpm range and when shifting. It is a manual. Help?

Check your compression for eitehr bad rings or a bad piston. Do it wet and dry. If compression ok, take valve covers off and see if oil hreturn holes are blocked on the head.

Me? About 8 hours, but you it depends on your mechanical ability. If you are thinking about doing it your self check around junkyards for a motor and make sure you can get as close a year as possible as alot of sensors would have to be changed, etc. As well as a computer.
