hi i have a toyota landcruiser prado 2.4 diesel turbo. I have just replaced the head with a upgrade head as the old head had cracked in 1 and 4 between the valves.When striping down the engine there was a bit of oil and water mixed together from the turbo pipes down to the cyclinders and ther was water in the sump .The problem i have is that the engine is still overheating and lacks power and smokes a bit when started and uses a lot of diesel.I am not sure if the bottom half of the engine has gone or not or if the turbo has packed up.it is a water cooled turbo with flowting oil fed bearings. If anybody has any ideas or advice on wot i can do it would be apreciated
