1989 xtra cab 4x4 v6
So the last 2 years the truck has been leaking oil and after several power washes and a valve cover gasket change I was able to determine the leak is from the head gasket.....driver side....rear back corner.... exhaust side.
I do not have any oil in the coolant nor water in the oil so it appears to be a failure from a journal portion of the gasket leaking to the outer edge of head/block,I would assume there is an oil journal in that corner of the motor but can't find any good diagrams that confirm this so maybe someone can tell me if there is a journal there.
I went to the dealership with the VIN number in hand to inquire about the headgasket warranty only to get some run around from the guy who said he has worked there for 12 years and had never heard of any warranty or has never done a headgasket on any Toyota trucks.
I did not want to argue all day with him even though he did run the VIN and said the steering issue had been dealt with but that there was nothing about a HG...does anyone have some current information on this warranty for me I am in Canada so I need verification that this warranty is still being honoured in Canada.
