Mine has a B18 converted to a single weber. I guess a compression test would be a good thing on this one...I'll check that out. I've driven it about 1000 miles across 2 oil changes since I first acquired her in February 2005. In that time, I haven't had to add oil and the oil level has remained consistent the whole time. The smoking isn't really a major problem (people behind me don't have to pull over momentarily for the smoke to clear, hehe). I guess I'm wondering if this is something that requires immediate attention or is this something that can be lived with for a while?

Right now I'm mapping a tentative schedule for its refurbishment, trying to get things at least mechanically reliable and then getting the repaint job done. I figure I'll get the paint done after I'm through greasing around so that the new paint job isn't damaged. In the end, I'm not trying to make this a show car so much as something that I can use for most everyday driving (work for me round-trip is maybe 25 mi) and occasional country drive down toward the beaches (about 350 mile round-trip) while still being presentable. :)
