Ok so pretty much I hate pirate anymore since searching gets your waisted flames. I have an 85 4runner with a 22re in it. Has 289k on odo and I was told that went for the motor as well. It has ran decent but gutless since I had it. I went through did a timing chain and gasket set on it when I first got it. It still sputtered water and oil out the exhaust after so I knew it was probably a head issue. Well it still remained getting 20+mpg so I drve it till today. I took off this morning saw a big cloud of white smoke out the exhaust and thought hum thats not good and it went away about 4 miles down the road it felt gutless and didnt like any gear above 3rd. I pulled in a parking lot to see coolant dumping out so turned and hit the house. I dranined the coolant and thats where things got interesting.
So my coolant looks like mud with oil poured on the top layer like chocalate syrup. I thought **** check the oil hum no water in oil and it still looks new. tore the motor apart and the head doesn't have that much corrosion and I can't figure out where the oil is getting into the water at. I do know that I have to dump a quart of oil in and fill the coolant bottle in this thing. So any ideas on what it can be? Moneys real tight and sucks it is my daily driver.
