motor blowing alot of smoke and burning alot of oil, got a price on an import 7afe with low k's $650 with 12 months parts and labour warranty, is that a good price??

Why bother with an imported engine with god-knows how many k's when you could go to a local Jap wreckers and probably pick one up for the same price, and genuine ks. They sold tens of thousands of these engines locally remember, in AE9x, AE102 and AE112 form so you shouldn't have any trouble tracking one down.

 

Smoke/oil consumption is most likely valve-stem seals, 7As are known for burning a bit of oil as they get old.
