Hello, I'm interested in purchasing a 2F out of a FJ60 (I know 40 series forum, but I figure everyone would let a 2F question slide).
The motor started without issues, but after it warmed up, idle decreased and oil began to spit (very lightly) out of the exhaust manifold collector where there was a small leak.
It also began to smoke as you might have guessed.
We shut it down and I pretty much dismissed any thoughts of purchasing it.
When I got home I started to think about how nothing made sense with what had happened.
This is my only thought; Is it possible that the oil drains from the heads were plugged causing excessive oil build-up under the valve covers?
I'm considering going back over there and checking oil level before and after warm-up. maybe check PCV?
