Just purchased this 96. This is my second cruiser. Both 96 fzj80's. I bought the first one knowing it had a blown head gasket. The thing about that one though were that both the oil and coolant were clean. No mixing. I was getting bubbles in the reservoir though and it would overheat. On this one though the coolant reservoir is full of mud but the oil is clean. It also seems to run fine. No overheating or bubbles. Possible oil cooler seals? I did the head gasket on the first one myself so I can do it again. Just not really looking forward to it if I don't have to. What do you guys think?

Pretty easy to check the oil cooler and reseal it first. Maybe that will tell you something and be the fix, if not you get to put your past experience to use on the HG :)

Nice looking 80, particularly the clean roof.
