Hello All:
I admit, no expert here with the 22re motors as I’ve owned numerous F, 2F and 3F Landcruisers. I looking to purchase a 85 SR5 Xtra Cab 4x4. It has 185k miles on the clock, owner maintained, new head gasket top end about 5 k miles ago, timing chain, owner is a straight shooter, long maintenance documentation. It does however burn 1 qt of oil about every 1000 miles or so. It’s in Nevada, I’m in California so there has been a lot of texting back and forth. Is the burning oil a deal killer?
Thanks
Mike
