I’ve got the old block and head for sale in the classifieds section. I’ll put a disclaimer wih the VC that it needs to be hot tanked. I would think that would get it clean, i just don’t have a good option near me.
I’ve got a few more kinks to work out still, but the oil consumption was fixed today. I cleaned the valve cover about 3 times, but still didn’t fix the issue. I broke down and ordered one of the updated ones from amayama.
I didn’t realize my pcv channel was so plugged until i breathed into...
Wednesday: I get this picture from a police friend that passed me. Thankfully, no ticket, but I took it as a friendly warning. I didn’t think my speedo was off that much. Ordered this unit when I got home that afternoon.
Monday: Unit arrives on lunch break. Took literally less than 10 minutes...
It didn’t come with the block, but I did order and install that myself. Torqued to spec per the manual. I thought about this being the culprit too, but wouldn’t this have showed in the oil pressure gauge on the dash?
Nope. I had the factory lines to the intake, and it started blue smoking real bad. Thats when I found all the oil in the intake. Once I put the catch cans in, I wasn't burning it anymore, just catching all the oil previously dumping in the intake. I've turned the overdrive button off on the...

I do have a compressor. The noise I was referring to was just the function of the pcv valve by shaking it, not in the valve cover itself.
On your extra valve cover, If you blow in each hole...
Yep! Everything is OEM, I bought grey market Aisin/Denso parts where I could on RockAuto, but everything is straight from Toyota. I even returned the Napa starter back from post #25. I did reuse the PCV valve, but I just had replaced it a year ago, and it still worked as designed.
I have zero...
So on initial start up, I pulled the EFI fuse and cranked it over for 20ish seconds to prime it with oil. made sure there wasn’t any leaks, set the timing, drove it around the shop, made sure there any leaks again, then ran it at 2k RPMs for about 20 minutes to break in the camshafts. Checked...
Alright, I'm stumped, and need y'alls help. I've got about 800 miles on the engine so far, and for the past few weeks I've been burning oil, lots of oil. About a quart every 250 miles. Fearing the worst, I did a compression test and leak down test. Compression was 170 across all 6 cylinders, and...
