2001 Tacoma Blowby

Second post.

I have a 2001 Tacoma with moderate blowby it's the 4-cylinder. I've heard changing the PCV can help in this situation? Has anyone come across this issue before and what remedies have y'all taken.

Thanks

 

It's likely ring lands carbon'd up. Not much you can do. Ensuring the PCV is jiggling will certainly help prevent the seals from failing due to trapped pressure.

You could try an aggressive cylinder chemical in the plug holes over night, but I've yet to see it help.

 

Welcome to TW…

 

Thank you guys, I'm just really trying to avoid replacing the engine...i just got it today for 4k with 100k miles. Just want to take care of it

 

Let it burn, I’ve owned many Toyotas that use oil and it’s not a huge issue.

I had one Corolla that used a liter every 2 weeks. Was crazy, never failed though

 

Thanks guys! Appreciate the insight y'all offer

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Was it this Gen? I think he said he was burning a quart every 300 miles which sound about the same.

It's a 1st gen, 114k miles got it for 4k. Im not super worried about it, just want to take care of it.
