I went to look at my cousin's 95 cobra today. It was making a loud noise from the engine. As it idles, the oil pressure gauge will drop to the bottom, stay there for a second, then go back up to the middle, then repeat the process. The noise is constant (and loud). It was always really bad about using oil (3 quarts every 1,500 miles). I am going to have him take it to a shop tomorrow. There has always been a little white smoke coming out of the tail pipes when he starts it up.

Does this sound head or block related? Unfortunately I am thinking the worst
