Hello.
Sorry for my bad english  My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

Well: Pulled the head last night and no problems. i had a long 10mm 12 point socket. The exhaust side were torqued high it seems because they are longer than the intake.
The oil pan took the rest of the night. Those elan bolts were a pain, especially the one next to the ac compressor. End up taking the AC compressor and its bracket out to get to it. I will be replacing those bolts and they are not cheap from Toyota dealer. Head will be taken to a machine shop to have them go over. Pistons will be pulled tonight. In order to remember which piston goes where, I used a small punch ( a spring loaded punch from Harbor Frieght) and marked dots 1 to 4 on each piston surface. The cylinder walls looked good and the ridge on the top was non-existant. Some cross-hatched were noticed. Sorry to highjacked your thread again. I will start a new when I download the pictures from my camera. |
