Hello all, I did a head gasket replacement a few years back on my 92 fj80. Since then, it has been running pretty well, other than the fact that it still remains to have oil mix with the coolant. I thought it may have been just some of the wd40/kroil that was sprayed on the block to keep it from rusting while the head was off being checked and redone by a local head shop. After the install, I flushed the system several times. It cleans up until it is driven a few days. Then it starts to get thick and sludgy and in need of another flush. All my searches turn up water in oil, but not oil in water. I have bypassed the oil cooler hoping that was it, but it doesn't appear to be. I haven't driven it much due to work. It is also limited to short trips because it starts getting warm on the longer ones, probably due to the contaminated coolant. The heater is sometimes only warm at best. As far as I can tell, no water is mixing with the oil, def not like when the head gasket blew. No hint of foam or chocolate milk. Any thoughts? Head gasket again, cracked block? I believe the head gasket kit was a felpro one.
Thanks,
KM
