That’s what I thought. It looked like it from the image online. I guess those are failing after only 60k? I don’t mind replacing them, but I’d guess they would last longer.
Got it. The distributor o ring has been replaced twice since the rebuild, almost 8k ago. I’m gonna follow the advice and replace the plugs tube seals and the cable cover gasket. There’s no oil spatter under the air intake hose, I just noticed.
Thanks for the advice. The previous owners were kind enough to have toyota install new: EGR vacum , TB Gasket, Idle control valve, EGR valve, EGR vacum, EGR gasket, PCV valve and an Idle Valve gasket in the rebuild 60k back.
I looked at the invoice but I cant tell if the gasket kit...
I think you’re right, I have a feeling it’s the tube seals. Has to be. I would think that when Toyota rebuilt the head they would replace the tube seals, but… The PS has been a PIA. The hose from the reservoir leaks where it connects to the pump no matter what I do to tighten it.- I’m sick of...
The truck is bone dry everywhere. Just maybe a little moisture on the PS from the reservoir house but not a drip anywhere, which is exactly why this is bugging me so much. If there were some drips somewhere I would assume they’re blasting through the engine bay.
I tend to used dish soap on the engine because it’s kinder to the rubber hoses works pretty well. I did pull the wires and I noticed some oil in there. You think the oil is making its way out of the plug tubes and onto the exhaust side of the engine?
Almost never need to add between changes. 60k on rebuilt both ends.
Could oil be getting in the exhaust and there’s an exhaust leak as well that is blowing it out? It doesn’t sound like an exhaust leak though.
Are there other ways to check
There’s only 60k on this gasket. But like you said there’s nothing leaking down the side of the head. It’s splattered like a small amount of oil is getting blown back from the fan. The stains run the entire length of the head.
The PCV hoses just have a little bit...
I’m getting oil spatters on the manifold heat shield. Is this a sign of a failing gasket?
The heat shield was spotless a couple months back and now it’s got (at least what I think is) oil spatter on it.
I thought maybe a breather hose from the head, but everything looks in place.
Anyone have...
