Hey Community - I just moved to Phoenix, AZ and am building up my bank of contacts. I am looking for a good diesel mech for my 1980 BJ40 (B engine). I also need to extend my front drive shaft - know a good drive shaft company? Any/all recommendations welcome!
Thanks!

Thanks clx16! I don't remember if there was a groove or not. Luckily I get a chance to tear it apart and check again! :) I'll also see if I can see a leak higher, but I am pretty sure a redo will be required. Thanks!
1980 (10/79) BJ40 - B Engine - I just replaced the rear main seal about 2 months ago and my oil leak is bigger than it was before (4" pool every night). Cleaned it up and added UV to track and it is clearly coming from around the starter and the clutch fork. I am reading online about the Pan...

I just bought a 1980 BJ40 B Engine (manufactured Oct 1979). I have the 1980 engine manual (36047), but it says it is for the August 1980 production model. Does anyone know how different this is (if at all?) I am also looking for the electrical one-line because I need to re-wire a few things.
