Yep, I am now a happily married man!!! With that being said, it was decided that we should pick up a B2 for her & get it ready to TRY to hang with mine.

We picked up this '85 B2 for $250







Plenty more pics to come as soon as I figure out how to make them smaller, all the other ones I tried to post came out super sized....:icon_confused:

Cool!

If it's smoking, it's the valve seals. Easy fix. (Or you can just put in a 4.0 :icon_thumby:)

Good luck!

country.........What a difference the opening back glass makes!! What's cool is if you take the struts that hold it open completely off & leave 'em off, all you have is 2 nuts to remove to take the glass out....easy off, easy on!! :headbang: Good luck on your search, I have one on my 84 as well as the 85!!!! :icon_bounceblue:

slo-vo........Preesh8 it bro! Haven't been on here as much recently but I'm still around....:icon_thumby:

railman........Thank you very much man, I think the world of her & Love her very much!! :blush: I can't wait to get her B2 where it needs to be! I want to go wheelin' with ya'll badly, I am having MAJOR withdrawals looking at my B2 sitting in the driveway...:bawling: As soon as I get that 8.8, LOOKOUT!!!!! :headbang:

midtn.......Thanks bro! Anxious to get 'er on the road!
I just noticed you are in Smyrna, we need to hook up sometime. I have an awesome place to go wheelin' in Winchester! Next time I can make a trip to Turkey Bay with the T.B. crew, maybe you could follow me up, it kicks azz!!

Nice!

Like BlackBII, I agree that it sounds like the valve seals.

I am hoping it is just the valve seals but I really need to take a look at the internals. As it sits, the valve covers are reversed (oil fill valve cover is on the passenger side...:icon_confused:) & the dipstick is showing app. 2 quarts above full....:shok: The oil pan drain plug is located on the driver side, which I have never seen...:dntknw: Not to mention it is completely rounded off & it is on there so tight I haven't been able to budge it...:annoyed:

No 4.0 for me bro, 2.8 all the way!! :headbang:

:icon_cheers:

the dipstick is showing app. 2 quarts above full....:shok:
i bet if ya drained the extra oil out it would quit smoking.....

someone i know overfilled his engine and it did this, we drained it and got it to the correct level and it was fine....

remember we still owe you a wheelin trip down in your neck of the woods, just let me know when and ya know i be there :icon_thumby:
