Land cruiser 1HD-FTE smoking at idle (2 Viewers)

[swany315]

Hello, I have a 2002 Land Cruiser 100 with the 1HD-FTE. The engine smokes at Idle but it does not burn much oil, I just drove it 1,500 Km and it burned about half a liter of oil. The engine starts fine and the power is good as well. The smoke is coming from the PCV hose, if I disconnect it it does not smoke out the exhaust. Many people say the engine needs to be rebuilt, and that might be true but I am confused because it starts fine when its cold, and has good power still. It runs great, it just smokes. Any advice on this would be good. I live in Kyrgyzstan and unfortunately there are not any good mechanics here for these engines.

I would call that excess oil consumption, equivalent to 2.5 liters on a 5,000 mile oil change interval. You have excess crank case pressure. As to what is causing it.....probably worn rings. You could run a compression test on all cylinders. How many kilometers on the engine?
