I have a bad valve, piston ??? causing a fouled plug in cylinder #7.
Burns through 1 quart of oil every 400-500 miles.
Suggestions please ?
Many thanks

Your best bet would be find a 2nd hand engine. If the piston is damaged the bore will most likely be damaged. The bore in these engine is economically not repairable.
Maybe you can remove the plug and use a cheap bore scope to actually look inside the engine. You need to do a hot and cold compression test and a leak down test. Those tests will give you the condition of the cylinder. Chances are you will be doing exactly what Mattml indicated, finding a another engine. Good luck.
