possible blown head gasket (1 Viewer)

[LuisRDelgado]

My 94 land cruiser just started running really rough and blowing white smoke from the exhaust. I found coolant mixed in the oil dipstick and coolant level in radiator was really low. Are these clear signs of a blown head gasket? 1994 Toyota Landcruiser 1FZ-FE

Not sure what else you need? Sounds pretty evident if you have coolant in the oil and are blowing white smoke. Do you have access to a bore scope? You can pull spark plugs and look down in the cylinders to see if any are steam cleaned/shiny piston top. Sorry for your loss!

I envy you. (I'm serious too)...

Now you get the opportunity to pull the engine and do stuff like main bearings, rod bearings, pistons, rings, timing chain, gears, tensioner, etc. And, of course valve guide seals, etc. It won't be dirt cheap. But, then you'll have a new, confidence inspiring reliable beast - far cheaper than some ugly Bronco (gasp), or 250, etc.

Enjoy the journey,

Unfortunately, it doesn't get much clearer than that.

I'm sorry for your loss.
