1987 Mazda B2600 B 2600i review from North America
"Comfortable cab, great climate controls!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems since I did the diesel conversion, just a front cover oil leak and a power steering hose leak.
General comments?
Bought pickup for $950.00 off Ebay with a bad 2600 engine, after looking it over looks like previous owner ran her out of oil (balance shafts were scored). I replaced the timing chain and guides to check condition of engine. Once I fired her up I realized it was better to replace then rebuild, too many valve train and rod noises and injection had been replaced with an after market carb.
