Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My 100 series gets 320 k's out of 90 lts of gas around town and about 400 k's on a trip.
Full time 4x4 and 35" tyres (electronic speedo correction so km's are correct)

Did the engine overheat?

If your lucky it's just a head gasket, if it got hot it could be a cracked block or cracked/warped head.
