Rolled my 90 daihatsu rugger 2.8dt. Sat upside down for maybe 5-10mins. Once on it wheels i let it sit for awhile then took out the glow plugs and turned it over untill no oil spewing out. put it back together and away it went. Now its back home is there any parts of the motor to take off and clean or would all that oil have burnt away. all of the oil came out the snorkel but when it got rolled back upright im guessing all the oil went back down into the turbo.
any ideas or just jump in and drive it next wekend.

havent much clues on the engine but as you have already ran it it should be fine
go around and check all the gearbox and diff breathers as the old gear oil can be hard to get out of the hose extentions and may need a little compressed air to remove, make sure you pull the filter caps off first :lol: as they will blow off and then disappear :oops:
