91 CRX ring job?

I am looking at buying a 91CRX
It smokes when driven, not when Idling
It starts up right away
Drives fine

Rundown:
200k+
Smoking, owner says one plug fowls and need cleaning occasionally
Uses about 1qt of oil a week
CVJ's need boots and lube at best, replace at worst
Timing belt still has 40kmi left before change is indicated
New tires
young brakes
new clutch



What is it worth
-or- what will it cost to fix
-or- can I keep putting oil in it and live with the smoke till I can
pull the head?

I am not worried about the CVJ's ....too much

Thanks

Do a compression check.
If you're lucky it could be valve guides and seals.

You're gonna have to pull the head anyway.

What's it worth to YOU? The thing is a classic.
They don't make 'em like that anymore. What shape is the body in?
Look at the jacking points. Are the doorsill sound or have the jacking
points rusted out?

Will the pollution police catch up with you?

Change them!
