I put my bet in valve seals too ..
Its the rings, ive had two trucks that have done it, the oil pools more to the back of the oil pan and the oil gets kicked up by the crankshaft, to much for the rings to squeegie out...start with a compression test, if its low, do a wet compression test
Is the pvc located in the front or rear of the valve cover? Is it baffled?
Does it smoke for a few seconds after starting it when it has sat for a day or two?
its not the pcv, the pcv is at the top of the valve cover, unless that was submerged with oil it wouldnt happen, its your rings
The pcv is not at the top of the valve cover on a 2F. It's at the firewall end of the push rod cover on the passenger side of the motor.
thats a random place to put it...even then, unless the valve cover filled up with oil it couldnt burn that much...
yes it can
I guess we will see
Mace knows what he's talking about. Just because you have a Lexus with a 3-link does not mean you're god's gift to Land Cruisers, bro.
Look at it this way, replace the PCV as a likely culprit, if it's not that, then the other two options both include ripping the motor apart.
i'm sure he does.. i never said he didnt, ive been building motors from the ground up for 6ish years bro, i'm just saying just becaseyou have 14,000 something posts doesent mean your god's gift to land cruisers either
i know he knows what he is talking about,i'm just having a hard time wrapping my head arund that much oil being sucked thrugh the pcv, maybe i'm wrong, who knows who cares, this is a forum where people ask questions and peple give opinions/useful info, i'm clearly just givng my opnion

And I'm just giving you a bit of a hard time, relax man
You didn't know the location of the PCV on a 2F so I inferred that you didn't know this particular motor very well, hence the Lexus quip. It doesn't matter how many posts a person has, but how much knowledge they possess. I am, by no means, an expert on LCs and compared to many people on this board I know nothing. I am just another person learning as much as I through personal experience and on this forum.When the PCV is broken, it will allow a lot of oil by. In the stock 60 config, the PCV dumps into the air cleaner and will make the cleaner filthy with oil when malfunctioning.
Lol okay the pcv is at the rear of the side inspection plate and feeds directly into the intake.
When you go up a hill the oil flows down the rear pushrod galleys and past the pcv pickup.
It is easy to suck the oil into the intake from there.
That being said. If you have bad rings and are pressurizing the crankcase that will decrease the ability of the oil to travel back down from the head to the oil pan and increase the chance of the pcv sucking oil into the intake.
there is absolutely a good chance that I am wrong. Diagnosing over the internet is not exactly a exact science.
In the end, your 6 years may give the correct answer.. Or I may be right.
I'm just trying to help the op.

Btw bad rings or valve seals also trend to leak when you are hard on the gas or decelerating.
A compression check would help a lot. As would knowing exactly what motor the op is running.

very, very true..

i agree, we need to know more about the vehicle to give an accurate diag. i hope the owner chimes in soon so we can try to narrow it down some
