sj 410 burning oil

[bencotterell]

Ok so my sj410 is burning alot of oil going to replace the valve stem seals found set on ebay with head gasket kit when i strip the engine down any thing else there worth doing/changing?

[timwilks13]

personally i would do i full top end gasket change, may not be part of the issue but for the price it cant hurt, then you know its done ey

I found full head gasket kit on ebay so will do all of the gaskets i get in the set is it worth doing piston rings cam belt and water pump while in at it?

Just watch out for the piston rings on ebay, they are not of the best quality from my experience.

Ok so in found out today that the sj not burning as much oil as 1st thought i got oil leak aswell. Will fix oil leak first and gi from there. Any one no what size copper washer i need for sump plug.

I've never replaced a sump plug washer in my life!

So the oil leak turned out to be my own fault didn't do sump plug up tight 1 oil leak done now to sort transfer box out.

My 410 burns oil like mad there is no leaks and I have put about 8 litres of oil in my Sj since it's been on the road which is 10 months I'm not to bothered as there will be a 1.6 conversion this year or next year

[bencotterell]

I wanted to do a 1.6 conversion but at the min just want to get it running right and stop oil leaks the transfer box is the next on my list of jobs to do. Maybe engine conversion next year.
