have an lj71 with the 2lte engine. blows heaps of smoke on idle and when accelerating from idle especially. loads of blowby coming from oil cap. have a theory that the blowby is pushing oil past the stem valve seals and up the hose into the turbo crossover pipe (intake) and then burning. has anyone else had a problem with this?
 
Not had that on my 70 series, but when was the last time it was serviced, all filters, oil etc ?
Could be simple or much more involved, hang on for some better input.
 
Will, something else I thought of, egr and throttle body choked up with sticky, black, oily gunk.
And on a lesser scale, inlet manifold.
When I had these off my 78 for unrelated work, they were in a right mess, which needed carefully scraping out and using a brush and loads of paraffin in a makeshift parts washer, needed plentiful supply of rags too !
