and unusual yes. people do weird things
The gunk may be keeping the oil in
So a coat of old dirty oil makes engines more dependable?
OMG Lewis!!! You need to get about 3 cans of engine degreaser and drive that thing to a car wash booth and CLEAN IT!! If you do that, wrap a plastic shopping bag around the alternator and the distributor. After you clean all the oil off, you should be able to see where the oil is leaking from.If your engine is NOT blowing smoke, you’ve got leaks from a bad hose connections, a bad or incorrect PCV valve or rubber grommet, or you have over filled your crankcase. If you have not replaced the rocker cover gasket and the two plugs…. You need to do that. Make sure you do not over tighten the 4 acorn nuts that hold the cover on.The gasket kit comes with molded cover gasket, 2 head plugs, and the 4 grommets for the cover studs.How fresh is your air filter? Is the filter canister factory? If the air filter gets REALLY plugged up, the engine vacuum will increase slightly as it tries to suck air from least resistance.... through the PCV valve if the hoses are tight and the air canister is tight and sealed well.Gnarls.
The front oil seal may be the culprit.Incoming airflow then blows the oil all over the engine.Only use a Toyota front seal..........
thanks for the pics. did someone paint the block blue? if so, I would assume the motor was out at one time. I would pull it again and redo all the seals and gaskets with toyota parts or stop right there, count your losses and buy a longblock from the links Matt posted, then sell your old block to 300k for his collection and the cam to Gnarly so he can have a stock cam.
One thing I noticed while turning the crankshaft with a wrench to check valve lash: When I turn the crankshaft, a hissing sound emerges from somewhere in the bottom end of the engine, audible through the open area around the timing chain. Is this normal?
that's the little bit of compression made by turning the engine over by hand.
Can't be; all the spark plugs were out. And if it were, that would be some serious blow-by happening.
