I have a 1993 Festiva GL that the mechanic c has said the engine has reached the end. My mother in law drove it in town from 1993 to 2005 never going above 45mph. It had oil changes Q3 months and tune up Q2 years. I started using it as a intercity commuter. It had about 55k miles then and now is about 85k miles. Engine started leaking oil. PC valve was replaced and gaskets were replaced. Still leaking and the mechanic stated that the pic valve could not keep up with the engine.
My query is what to do. Can it be repaired or would it be more efficient to replace the engine and if that is the case. What engine should I replace it with. I have seen some commentary about a Mazda b6 or stock engines. I would like a little more power as it is sluggish on the hills and highway speeds is difficult for long duration of times and I have to commute 150 miles a day for nursing school.
Limited income so can't afford new car and drivng my truck is not fuel efficient. Thanks for all advice
