well i was using synthetic. as mentioned earlier in the thread. 5w40. but i bought this car with 125k miles on it. I even ran a few oil changes with sea foam in them-now what came out was nasty! the crank is clean as a whistle. -

but why do people here like to say if it overheats then the head gasket will surely blow. by the way splitting the case was a ***************. i had no idea it was that stuck together. sorry that room has some very poor lighting -

well the problem looks like the oil control rings on 3 pistons were seized. But i still didnt take the heads apart because i lost my spring compressor. the crank looks excellent but for where the rear seal ate into it theres quite a gouge. the rear seal was flexible and soft and the front one was crispy and brittle. very odd. -

erik litchy replied to [HTi]Johnson's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
on a uni-body car like these you would want to use a plate where it mounts to the body to spread the load. other than that its whatever fits best. -

you always have the option of installing a rollcage to help make the car safer. I plan on installing one in my jeep, as I have seen that the roof collapses in a rollover.
