Early pickup/hilux and 4-runner tech and classifieds

Venable pulled the brand new windshield the p.o. on the 80 to change just the gasket, but they said it may crack in the process.

They pulled it and put it back in with new gasket no probs.

I was very impressed, b/c I told them to have another one there in case it did.

I give them Two up.

I have been out of town a week. Drove my 4Runner to the shop. Washed it.

Cranked it after the wash with Chef Lou @under_psi in da house.....and it smoked like a bitch. Blue smoke. More than my 60 at startup.

WHAT THE HELL??

3500 miles........ideas?

Warranty

 

[wngrog]

Well yes....sure....but what would cause a new car to do this? I cranked it 12 times since and no smoke.

 

[SHUSH]

doesn't blue smoke mean oil....as in getting past pistons? that's not good dude

 

[wngrog]

Has not done it again.

Weird. 3900 miles

Saw this when at Lexus- you basically started it; drove short distance turned it off- correct?

Loaded cyclinders with fuel and didn't burn it off.... Then starting it after wash your rig was trying to get rid of it.

 

[wngrog]

That's exactly what I did.

Still shouldn't do that. Even my 306k mile 100 doesn't do that. Ever.

Ok well seen it bunch and always was initial start and short drive like across road and shut off....
Kinda like shouldn't speed but it happens.

 

[under_psi]

still shouldnt "load up" like that.....weird....it was a nice cloud too.....weird

 

[wngrog]

I'll be watching it every time I start now dammit

I'll be watching it every time I start now dammit

I am with Clutchee. Hell I saw what the access fuel did to my spark plug in 100.

Go start any newer sports car with high compression. A lot will smoke and it is just what happens.

Not like smoke from your 60 where actually an issue.

Don't agree with me Bomar- what do I know.....

 

[G-Cat]

Have you tried to replicate/recreate it? (Start, drive a short distance, turn off, restart after a break)?

 

[MEMCruiser]

I will buy it. I will be in Yazoo all weekend.

 

[wngrog]

Nope. Have not tried that.

It was a fluke. I've 100% confidence in it.

 

[wngrog]

The Gobi shore looks good

Is that a 10yo kid on that gobi?
