@OTRAMM Thanks, man. What about the rear main seal? My truck has fairly low miles but sat for over 10 years, and all the seals and gaskets are pretty much in need of replacing. Starts drives and runs. Does not overheat . Has a new thermostat and water pump. But my I noticed that when you start it. It smokes a bit. Then goes away. So I took the exhaust manifold off and noticed the exhaust valves leaking oil. Not a lot, but since I'm replacing most of the seals and gaskets, I thought, why not replace all of them and have it last another couple of thousand miles. I already got the gasket kit from toyota.

Just did this 3 Weeks ago. Wish I had this video then, being a novice. My head ended up being badly pitted around the valves and just slightly on the pistons with coolant in the engine. Would you advise going through the remainder of the engine since its out? Turns freely but pretty dirty. Sensors on the side of the head melted, so it got hot. Purchased the cruiser this way as a project. By the way I saw a couple of things I did wrong, so thanks for taking the time to make this video and keep up the good work!

If it got hot enough to melt the sensors I'd at least put a precision straightedge across the block deck surface and make sure it's still flat. If you've got the engine out I'd consider pulling the oil pans and plastigauging the crank bearings. You'll have to be careful of the timing chain though since the cam sprocket isn't holding it meshed the the crank sprocket with the head off. Plastigauging is a lot of extra work though if you aren't committed to doing a rebuild if you find out of spec clearances.

The gaskets in the oil cooler leaking could potentially have the same symptoms. I've heard of them leaking but I've never seen it in person. A cracked head or block could do that also.

So the mounting gaskets could be possible.
