Way OT...water in oil! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just had my world turned upside down tonight as I changed oil in my trusty daily driver...Toyota 4X4 that I have owned since new...I found white water emulsion in the filler in the valve cover! I just had to add water to the rad this month when I found it low...so now I know where it was going! I checked the plugs and most of them have white desposits on them like they were running hot but it did not over heat when it was low on water.

Anyone ever do head gaskets on a Toyota V-6 DOHC with FI? Is it a pain? Is it a weekend job or longer?

This bites!!!!!!
