Replacing Head Gasket On A Small Port 4agze

[demotorsport]

not using water much

not blowing white smoke

not mixing with oil

 

but

oil cap has milky substance when gets hot

its almost like conjew from heat but not sure

 

my questions are

 

when i took cam cover off a while back i noticed the head bolts were under the cams in location that i can't get a socket on

so do the cams have to come off 1st???hope not...

 

is there a way around this like turning cams to a position where its possible to get to bolts???

 

and if they come out how is it possible as they would have to slide out front and the engine would have to come out???

 

lastly is there a site with instructions or a manual that tells me much about this and the tention specs etc...etc...

 

 

any help appreciated

 

thank you

Yes the cams have to come out, Just unbolt them and pull them upwards but don't disrupt any shims and buckets, The toyota FAQ on here should have a tension specs page, Have you changed the oil recently? before you get too carried away try to diagnose the problem 1st, Take it to a shop and get them to put a TEE-KAY test on it (sniffs out exhaust present in the cooling system).

i havent had a good look but to take off upward I'm guessing the front metal plate would have to come off aswell???

and can i leave the cam gears on to do so???

 

and lastly yes i have changed the oil and filter recently a few times because i havent had dyno tune yet and was worried fuel was mixing with oil cause its running hell rich...

 

would this cause the condensation or litle bit of milky on cap???

it starts off as vapor then when oil spits up it turns milky but it definatley starts as water drops like condensation its turbo and the head and covers get pretty hot
