Hi everyone, so I'm troubleshooting a few issues with my 85HJ60 (Aus spec) and would love your help/advice.
My 2H engine with an aftermarket turbo has done 424,000km and has the following symtoms:
- Blows black smoke when running for an hour
- Blowby (not sure if excessive)
- Catch can fills up fairly regularly
Most alarmingly, the exhaust manifold shows oil leaks from exhaust port 1 and 6.
One shop has told me that this means engine rebuild time (between 5k 7k). But I'd like to know if it could be anything else?
I've searched this forum and haven't really found anything specific to this issue. So really looking forward to learning from guys.
