So, I finally got my project BJ42 (titled as a 79 BJ40 but since I have a 3B/H55 from a 12v BJ70 I'm calling it a BJ42 - make sense?) running and actually drove it a bit, though not street worthy yet. I think I'll post another thread with a link to that video and ask for suggestions for a new name for myself on Mud. Anyway, to my question. This engine sat for 20+ years in a barn. The guts are good, 420PSI across the board, but I'm finding lots of leaks. Specifically, to get it running I had to remove the weep and fuel feed line banjo due to a leak on the steel weep line return side. Also, the steel line from the fuel filter to the IP intake had a small leak (I split a rubber fuel line and stopped the leak by clamping that. So, can I just get some appropriate sized banjo fittings and make up new lines - or better yet, have a hydraulics shop do that for me? Any reason that the IP feed line is steel rather than rubber?
Thanks.
Thanks.
