Gps would be nice to have. I really never paid attention to my mileage.

I kind of use it for gas mileage. Really I just know that I have 3300 miles that I have been running EFI. That’s all.

Nice. That's pretty good!

Had some super bad dry rot and broken belts on all my tires. I got new fronts and rear tires mounted and balanced today. Happy to say it drives like a new car!

Strange how 25 year old tires harden up!?

I guess you got the goodie out of them. I thought I was doing pretty good when I replaced my 13 year old tires!

They where made in at least 1995 maybe before.

Never had grip issues and I have known I was going to have to buy new.

Tip" In the "off season" I keep my tires in the root cellar , I just sold a pair of 1300 x15 paddle tracs that i've had for about 30 years still like the day I bought them and they were well used then I know some of you guy don't have an 'off season'

Remember that the materials in tires age even if they don't look like it. Be careful!

Got new tires on they make a world of difference.

I’m having an oil leak issue that appears to be at either the pushrod tubes or cylinder bases, I know this isn’t turbo related but anyone have any common leak areas around there? I can’t seem to pin point it.

Leaks about a half dollar sized stain or so.

Thanks

My cylinders are leaking for sure. I have 2 shims on mine also, so I'm not real sure where its coming from either. I'm pulling mine down to the short block Saturday to see what i can see.
I had to jack mine up, clean it all up with brake cleaner, then run it again to see where it was coming from.

I guess my confusion is that it seemed to show up out for no real reason. I’m thinking this weekend I’ll torque the heads as I haven’t ever on this engine so maybe a worth while check.

Couldn't hurt. I guess you can get to all of yours being a baja.

Half Dollar is about two drops of oil ,,, Mine 'sweats' too

Took the Baja on the first real highway trial!

Ended up with about a 30 mile run for work.

I have some things to look at, my Intercooler mount allowed a bit more movement then I’m comfortable with so need to shore that up.

Also the car kinda gets vibrations that I’m not 100% sure where they are caused by though not undrivable. 58 seems like a happy spot over 68 seemed un comfortable ( maybe I just was)

Last thing was my window when down shakes in the frame knocks and is super annoying. So need to get that fixed.

All in all I couldn’t be happier with this thing.

Can't beat that. There is always something little to piddle with though. Which is ok!
