It's been tough. It's an old 2GM but I assume they're not much changed. He's had spewing oil episodes of unknown origination, a water oil mayonaise mixture episode, you name it. I think his engine is trying to drive him insane and making some headway.
He just had the head pulled, a new gasket installed, and it worked fine, then blew oil out, somewhere.
It's a long story but interesting and I hope he finds a solution. I frankly worry that the engine is simply serving notice with compression problems that are manifesting into blow by freak episodes possibly due to an add on oil catch on a crankcase breather orafice, he swears is his friend.
I know, it all sounds bizzarre. He could use some help.
