My BB was dry as a bone and since it is a sealed unit I drilled a 3/8" hole in it and filled it with grease ,covered the hole and remounted it. It is now quite and runs smooth. I will change it if I ever start using the bike.
OK guys where do I get a replacement BB like this one.

I don't think you can just 'adjust' the BB over in this case. cranks and BB have come a long way since '85. the cranks have alot less 'dish' today then they did in '85. a typical road spindle was about 120 or so and before everyone moved from square taper the average was 102 to 105.
I agre I this gent needs to seek the aide of a bike shop.
Eddy you best bet is to get a Phil Wood BB
