I have 94 Tercel with a 4 cylinder, auto tranny with 145,000 miles on it. The body is pretty good yet, and drove good. It had been using oil(blue puff of smoke when you start it up), I'm thinking valve seals. It developed a miss and the oil consumption went way up. I'm thinking it burned up a valve. I checked with a local repair shop about a valve job. The rate book says 11 hours to r&r the head, 8 hours to r&r the engine. If I have him redo the head, will it just blow the rings out? OR should I have him pull the motor and put new rings in it and bearings and have the head worked over. I haven't tried to find another motor yet, but he thinks they are hard to find. Not sure whether to dump too much money into this car or just look for another. Hate to spend a lot of $$ for a beater car and not know what I'm getting vs fixing this one right and know where I'm at. I miss the 32 mpg it got for running around. I'm going to have to make a lot of trips to the new tractor club showgrounds this year(68 miles one way) and would like the good gas milage. Opinions??? Thanks, Chris

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
