'burns oil'??? a motor either burns oil or it does'nt... if your seeing smoke at higher RPM's, I'd say the rings are weak (my motor did it, smoked like hell above 1/2 throttle. but nothing at idle to 1/2)....
a 'ticking' noise to one is a knock to another... could be rod bearings, wrist pins, lifters, etc.....
they all run 'strong' till they go BOOM!!!!!
suggest, taking on a motor building project....
