Anyone know why a head gasket would fall apart in as little as 3K miles (it did not overheat)? This is for a 1984 Toyota Land cruiser.
Oil and coolant were mixing in an alarming rate (about a gallon of coolant was being consumed every 10 miles of driving). Not sure where it went; some ended up in the oil but the rest??? I didn't do a UAO but the oil looked very foamy and almost white... Prior to installation the head was checked for cracks and warping and it received a clean bill of health…
The gasket was NOT a Toyota gasket ($120 I think) but a knock off for $25. Could that be the reason?
