Hey i'm after some advice from some 1hz owners out there!

I just purchased a 1996 HZJ75 ute with 360,000 on the clock. I took it for a good long run yesterday and it seemed to use about 500mil of oil in a single 90km run? I had flushed and changed the oil the day before, used a quality filter and RX Super oil. Im also aware the 1hz dipsitck takes a while to show the actual oil level so I always leave it overnight before I check it.

The hose running from the rocker cover to the inlet manifold also has a fair bit of black oil in it, as does the actual inlet manifold where the hose runs into (as per the pictures). Is this normal? Or possibly a sign of excessive blow by?

What are your guys thoughts? Worn piston rings? She doesn't seem too underpowered, does blow a little bit of black smoke but nothing major. Going to take her for another long run tomorrow and see what happens.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers
