Hi All,
I have a 1989 BJ70 3BII fitted with a TurboGlide Kit wasting at 10psi. 318K on clock but new rings, seals, bearings done about 30K ago.
Recently went on a long trip into central NSW hunting, no problems on the way there but on the way back it started heating up a fair bit more than usual.
I have just removed radiator, had it rodded cleaned and pressure tested - all ok. Also had my whole block pressure flushed, new thermostat, new clutch fan, new Toyota red coolant and all put back together again.
I haven't gone on a long drive or pushed it up a long hill or anything yet but so far it seems to be running ok again.
Was just doing an oil change today and noticed a bit of oil 'spray' or drops from the crank case breather hose. I have put a little filter on the end and I could see the oil residue underneath. I wiped it clean and ran the engine for about 10 minutes, revving so the turbo would spool right up occasionally, and there was a small spray of oil deposited.
Is this considered 'normal' with the 3B now being turbo'd?
It doesn't blow any out of the ordinary smoke, but I did notice towards the end of running the engine and revving it that I could just pick up what looked like white smoke/vapour coming from the filter on the end of the breather hose.
No other oil leaks anywhere else on the car, I am using Delo400 oil changed regularly, not my daily drive, running on 33's as well.
Would love to get some feedback on this - I took a few pictures too which hopefully are attached.
Cheers!
