    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    It’s a Christmas miracle… the first machinist, the one who stopped working on the engine in May, had the caps. He had forgotten to give them back and just left them in a box in front of his shop. I was able to send a friend to get them today and they are now with the machinist who is finishing...

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    UPDATE: The saga continues, and it’s ugly. My new machinist finally had time to rebuild the engine (I’m overseas for work so I told him I was ok with him taking his tame and finishing other projects first) and he said that the work the previous machinist did looks great and that he has...

    The soft top is actually ok. It’s the straps that fell apart. I agree that they must have been made of really poor quality material. I just need some new straps sewn on.

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    Update: Well, I picked up the vehicle, motor and parts. I can’t believe how parts (like a resurfaced flywheel) were left to surface rust or how my brand new soft top was left out in the sun to the point that the straps disintegrated in my hand from sun damage. The good: everything appears to...

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    Update: I got in touch with a mechanic who does work on my other vehicles and who has seen my cruiser and he recommended a shop that specializes in project vehicles. I spoke to the owner of that shop and he is going to go with me and make sure we get all of the parts back. The engine will go...

    Yeah, that’s why I went to them. I guess they have so much work they decided to only focus on pre -1973 vehicles.

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    I sent an email to Fantomworks in Norfolk, VA as well. Right now I’m trying to contract with a mechanic who previously worked on it to serve as my agent and assess the condition of everything as it is delivered. Edit: no luck with Fantomworks. They only work on vehicles older than 1973.

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    More than anything, I just need a diesel mechanic. Everything else was working perfectly and should just bolt back on. The engine is fairly common in forklifts.

    Mechanic needed for 1983 BJ40 in Virginia

    Greetings everyone, I’m in a really difficult situation and looking for advice. Last June I dropped my BJ off at a mechanic for an engine rebuild. The mechanic claimed to be familiar with the diesel “B” engine and I agreed to obtain any parts that he was unable to get. Upon Initial...

    Wanted BJ40 crankshaft

    I appreciate your concern, but I can assure you that my cruiser has the original B engine in it. I run into this problem frequently where people assume that my engine must be a 3B because of the year of the vehicle but in Colombia (where I bought my cruiser) you had B engines. Granted, diesel...

    I am desperately in need of a crankshaft for my BJ40 B engine rebuild. Looking for new or used in good condition. I’ve searched sor, cool cruisers, manafre, and cruisercorps but have struck out. Any ideas?

    I have a 1982 BJ40 and I need a flywheel. Apparently, although my engine is a “B,” I need the later “3B” flywheel. What year was your vehicle? Any idea if your flywheel is the later style? thanks
