So.... I rebuilt the 22R-EB last year and have around 10K since then... new crank, rods, .030 over pistons, new EB RV head, cam, ARP studs, yada, yada... I checked my oil today and was a couple of quarts low, kinda wierd... got home, let it cool off and just started looking around under the hood... opened the rad cap.. nice and full. Opened the overflow bottle and was surprised to see nothing but black sludge... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> easily a quart... no trace of water in the oil (that I can see), no milkshake under the oil cap, no white smoke, no gurgling sound from the heater. It runs great, doesn't overheat... What gives? Anyone ever heard of this b4?

I'm beyond frustration with this... I love this 4Runner, its been my dd for the last 3 yrs, but I've about had it... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> gonna pull the spark plugs in the morning see if there is a story there... geez...
