Ours is in good basic condition. Literally bought by my dad after he retired to get to an from his weekend cabin year round and otherwise garaged. Compression is good, plugs have no sign of oil fouling. 240k miles an I am inclined to keep a...

Recalling my BC to CA runs, I can agree on speed being a factor.

I run 20w50 Castrol since engine rebuild (*I live in the desert) and took the truck on a 1,300 mile trip from PHX to SD and had to empty the oil catch can every ~500 miles - every other fill up - back into the oil filler at the valve cover. I...

Hills and speed seem to be why my 80's been burning the oil. Going to edit my post to give the oil and maintenance info.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/help-burning-oil-driving-cross-nebraska.1364144/page-2#post-16035978 I think ours was burning oil most heavily when we got into rolling hills in Colorado. We are still watching things, PCV and EGR seem fine...

If the original HG and associated seals etc then sounds normal, also what grade / type oil do you use? mine did similar prior to the HG going and after re doing it uses nothing, just a leak at the oil pump housing which i keep putting off doing.....

I'm gonna reserve my right to not incriminate myself but let's just say Ricky Bobby would be proud.

How fast were you trying to go? It matters. These things burn oil the faster you try to push it; the sweet spot seems to be about 60mph. Any faster than that, and I'd expect higher oil consumption, and I'm on a fresh short-block rebuild with 25k...

If you don’t know the exact level when you started than it’s hard to determine if you have an issue. I would get it topped up and monitor after 500 miles. Many have posted around a quart of usage every 1000-1500 miles on higher mileage motors.

So that's about 700 miles, and your oil was definitely at the full line when you started? These beasts do have a tendency to burn oil, and yours is high miles. However, 1 quart in that distance does seem a bit excessive. You can direct the...

Oil was full. On my drives BC to CA it wasn't unusual for me to need to top the oil up after driving on those 70mph/80mph highways.

Oil was full and my foot was heavy on the gas 😂

1997 80-series @ 368,573 miles Driving Vancouver, BC to Edmonton, AB. Did first half yesterday, lots of uphill and heavy driving on passing lanes. Oil reads low (L on dipstick) after letting engine cool off for 10+ minutes. I've got 1 litre...

It almost looks like you have picked the wrong plug on the harness. Unless the connector on the harness has been changed you should see it there. Here is what you should see on yours. Let me see a pic of the temp sensor you removed too, that...

No promises on them being made in Japan. Last batch we received about half Japanese made and half Chinese made. It’s just a lot easier and cheaper (TBD with the tariff situation) for us to order directly from Japan since they’ll sell us multiples...

Cheers. Bringing back the Japanese hoses (that's what she said) is a bonus for waiting. I'll sign up on your website and follow on IG.

Hey, thanks for the interest! We definitely think it’s a great addition to any 80. We don’t do a wait list or pre-sales, but you can sign up on our website to get an email alert when new kits are available. You can also keep an eye on this thread...

Hi - where can I sign up on a wait list? Sorting out P0401 and thought this would be a good addition, y'know, "while I'm in there" 🤣. Thanks.

I put some Toyota FIPG on the lid and tapped it back into place, it isn't going anywhere and has been working find since.

To be 100% CLEAR the MPG increase from a canister mod is an LCP joke. Do not expect any increase in MPG just a trouble free canister for life. Yes as the originator, I drilled out the check ball...

If anyone needs a charcoal canister done I am doing a couple tomorrow morning. All you need to bring is the charcoal and my fee is a six pack of beer. Call me if you want to come over. Starting about 8am. 520-483-8599 Ken

Guess what I'm doing this weekend? Y'know, hunting for little bits of the PCV grommet. Oh, and cleaning the charcoal cannister.

Nothing. The bits of grommet will sit inside the valvecover baffle and shouldn't cause any damage. The worry is that they may work their way down and block an oil return passage. Slim chance, but theoretically possible. If they work their way...
