    Stumped about coolant loss.

    I spoke to someone else today about it and they said that the coolant could be going into the oil jet? and into the oil rather than a cylinder. Is this possible?? The really milky oil is a giveaway that something is wrong. The head maybe cracked (fingers crossed that it isn't) but the only...

    Stumped about coolant loss.

    Oil I can see in the top under the oil cap (valve cover) and on the dipstick is becoming very milky. Mainly in the vavle cover tho'. I refill the overflow everyday now but cannot determine when it is actually leaking. Sometimes I go for a drive and there is still coolant in there afterwards...

    Stumped about coolant loss.

    Took a bit of oil and 'bammo' it was milky. I also idled it for about 10 - 15 mins warm and condensation began to form on the exhaust pipe. Looks like the head. Hopefully just the gasket and not cracked (fingers crossed). Major 'white goo' (condensation) again on the oil cap. Don't...

    Stumped about coolant loss.

    Thanks again guys. I will get some dye and try the 'flourescent test' and post back with results. I hope its not cracked or worse! I am a bit paranoid due to my brother having his head done recently with less on the odo than mine (he had 18x,xxx kms - mine 22x,xxx kms). They also said...

    Stumped about coolant loss.

    I have done a search and I fear this may be another HG prob. I had to fill my coolant overflow last week and it has just started idling slightly rough. I replaced the plugs and they all looked identical. I took it to my local truck shop to have it pressure and compression tested. It came...

    Sign me up for the HG Club. I think?

    Thanks guys. It is a 97 1fzfe with 222,000 kms (australia) trouble free. It has developed a slight rough idle but is generally going better than ever. I checked the coolant in the radiator and overflow about 2 weeks ago and about a month ago and both times it was fine. I checked the...

    Sign me up for the HG Club. I think?

    I think I may have join this popular club. After reading all your HG threads it made me quite nervous. Now I fear I may be the latest victim. It has just started to idle ever so rough so I checked all the intake, etc, etc. Coolant was quite low the other day and I checked it maybe...

    97 AT problem

    When I put it in second and drop down to first it shudders like there is no power or gear slipping. :confused: When it is in drive it has no problems selecting any gear. Even in first it is fine. Only when the selector is in second and it drops down to first. Would it be the selector lever...

    97 Cruiser annoying whistle

    Thanks guys. I think I will put up with it if it's not serious. If it gets really bad I might consider exhaust work. (Or when I finally get around to buying a turbo or SC - :bounce: - dreaming)

    97 Cruiser annoying whistle

    Hi all Firstly thanks for all your great info. I have a 97 80 series auto and it seems to have developed a persistent whistle under acceleration. I first noticed it when I put my foot down to take off around a left hand corner now it does it all the time at around 2100 rpm to about 3000...
