I have it on good authority (read old persons opinion) that it you repair your head and reinstall it then your chances for your rig to never run decent again are pretty good? Something about your piston cylinder hole head warping over time because of the torque from the head, but wearing...
Yep, I had this problem.
It took two things to fix it.
First I tried the 2 outside rubber contact points/Bolts.
Second , I needed to adjust the hood, it was about 3/4" out of adjustment foward. This caused my rubber contacts to lay incorrectly under the hood. Once I had the hood...
"About a month ago I changed the oil. Not too long after that, I noticed the oil pressure gage going to the roof, and then back down upon exceleration. After inspection, I noticed I did the dumb-ass thing, and forgot to put the cap back on after adding new oil. So, I put another 5 quarts in and...

I think something on the order of $20,000 was added to the first year of the F40 prices just to offset the crash tests that had to be performed...

Shell 10w-40 syn. burns oil at about 1 qt every 3000 - 4000 miles and keeps the pressure a little too low for my liking. $19.45 at walmart.
Shell Rotella (sp) 15w-40 dino, no oil consumption at 5000 intervals and pressure is...
We should close this post before we artificially raise the price of older Land Cruisers.
Besides I still want to buy 2 more 93 - 95 80’s so I can live the rest of my life without a new vehicle.
:D
I've always got my eyes pealed out for 94's.
If you can pick that up for $7000 your right in the ball park.
The plus would be lockers, no rust, no dings, no corrosion on the wheels, original glass, windows roll up strong, drivability, and all electronics working.
I'm sure others will...

There's a post floating from around 1 month ago about the IAC and 2 oil ring solution.
That should fix your problem or at least one solution to fix your problem.
