gas in oil what do I need to check
I got gas in my oil so what do I need to check before and start buyin parts? The truck runs great only problems I have are its hard to start and has trouble idleing below 1000rpm but I thought that was in the carb

yeah, stock mechanical fuel pump on a 22r
its like about $89.37 from toyota online for the fuel pump
part number 23100-39336
but I would call toyota and give them your vin # to be sure that's the right one, and prob get the gaskets to

this is common in mechanical fuel pumps. my 87 dodge did the same thing when i first got it. it was hard to start after it sat a while. the diaphragm that separates the gas from the oil gets small holes in it.
make sure you clean the surfaces well with carb cleaner and to change your oil
and if it isnt that....when was the last time you changed the fuel pump anyway?

when i said after it sat a while i meant like 12 hours. if it sat over night it wouldnt start in the morning. had to use starter fluid. but if i started it every couple of hours it would fire right up no problem.
just sharing those symptoms with you so you could compare

where the new fuel pump mounts to the engine block. just make sure you scrap the old gasket off that surface and give it a wipe down with acetone or carb cleaner. that helps to achieve a good seal
if you have the same symptoms i had, its the fuel pump. you'll be amazed at how well itll start after replacing it. might as well do fuel filter too, if its cheap and easily accessible.

bad piston rings would be my guess. only time gas has a chance of getting into the block is through the mechanical fuel pump, and during the compression stroke. with bad rings it could push the fuel mixture past the rings into the block. but its a air/gas fume at that point, not a liquid. so really i'm not sure to be honest.
wait, if the carb has a stuck needle and seat it could flood liquid gas into your intake which then could get into the block. thats a possibility. but this is my experience with motorcycles and gravity fed fuel systems, doubt it would work the same with an old toyota.
also check your PCV valve to make sure its working properly

The stock filter should be in a little bracket in the right rear wheelwell. Visible under the rubber liner that conceals the body to frame gap. If its not there or anywhere else along the line, then get one soon...

Well that could be to becuase when I got it it was hella rich and also wasnt fireing on #4. My dad and I have got it closer to where its supposed to be and fixed the miss since then. Same oil tho. But there's definitely a pre carb issue too
