You make it sound so easy Abe. Lol

So even if I sucked up some water through my oil pan my head gasket can still be blown?

After I flushed my oil the brown color went away and the white smoke went away also. Could it just have been oil in the pan and a couple flushes or a oil change fix it?

 

Your supposed to have oil in the pan,you mean water.If you try and keep from having oil in your oil pan your gonna have serious problems.LMAO

 

I meant water in the pan. Sorry

 

Looks like imma be going into surgery with this 4runner. I checked all the spark plugs make sure they were good and when i pulled out #2 water came out. Not Good. So i dries everything I could and took it around the block. Then my truck staretd heating up real quick. Stopped it and pushed it home.


Looks like i will be starting to open her up tomorrow. My truck has just been doing wierd stuff. First it would drip water from my muffler and then it wouldnt. White smoke would come out then sometimes it wouldnt.. Flushed my engine about 3 times and the oil started coming out clean.. Then I couldnt see if it was good just sittin there. So I found out it started to smoke again on my trip around the block.. Which leaves me to start at replacing my head gasket and see if anything else is wrong.

If anyoine has any tips that they would like to share I would appreciate it very much. I will take pictures when I start to work on it.

 

If it makes you feel better, i feel for ya...

I just got done (well 85% done) dropping a new long block in my 90 4Runner...
It's a lot of work... but can be done.

If you have caught it early enough, you can get away with just doing the heads and head gaskets.... not a entire long block. it's when you run "the coffee oil" for too long that your bearings give out.

 

Well I dont think i ran the "coffee oil" too long. Probably not longer than a day. 50 miles being the absolute max.
