Subject: Re: cooling system is being a pain. Info would help please
With the motor running remove the pressure cap before it gets hot.
Look inside and you should see the coolant moving. If it is, bleeding
isn't the problem. The fans should come on when the otterstadt switch
gets hot enough, if it doesn't it is bad. If you have the old style
pipe with the switch on top replace it with the newer version with the
switch on the bottom. If the engine was overheated enough you may have
damaged the head gaskets, one symptom is overheating and another is
the passing of combustion gasses into the cooling system so you can
never completly bleed the air out as it is constantly getting more.
Can be confirmed by putting a coolant pressure tester on the car and
watching the pressure rise. Check the dipstick and the breather for
any sign of moisture. A compression test may also be needed to confirm
at the least pull the spark plugs and examine them. If the engine was
severly overheated the oil and filter should also be changed.

Subject: Emergency brake slips!!
I put new pads and cables on my emergency brake. I have noticed that
when the pads are installed and the hand brake is applied, the pads
actually contact the rotor at an angle thus not making proper
contact for firm brake pressure. I might just need to readjust as
right now I pull up quite a ways and the car still tends to roll a
little on my driveway. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks

Subject: Angle-torqueing
A review of the head-gasket tightening procedures tells me to pre-
tighten the head bolts to 15 lbs, then to 45 lbs in the pattern
specified, then to use a torque wrench with an inclineometer dial-
like doo-dad on it and rotate the wrench 115 degrees to achieve the
proper tightness and gasket compression.
I understand the directions perfectly but I have never heard of this
procedure before and I have never seen an angle-torque wrench. Is
this an attachment you can put on your foot/lbs. torque wrench, or is
it strictly a seperate item? I haven't seen it at Sears. Does
everyone do it this way or has someone figured out how many foot lbs
115 degrees equates to? I know how important it is to do this part
correctly and I don't want to screw it up. Thanks.

Subject: Alternator or clutch, please help me out.
I am trying to find out suggestions and maybe some help to my problem.
Here is the situation. While driving my DeLorean today, I noticed that
only in 3-5 gears and hard acceleration the clutch felt like it was
slipping, so naturally I thought okay, my clutch is almost bad with
near 60K on it (as far as I know, but the previous owner claimed he
purchased and installed a new pressure plate 10-20K previously). Okay,
park the car, change to get ready to take the transmission out, and
the car would not start. Turn the key to start - the engine wouldn't
even crank. I hooked up a jumper battery and the engine slowly turned
to a start. The battery light was dim but glowing on the dash. When
trying to accelerate the engine, it accelerated slowly and badly unit
I hit 6 thousand R.P.M.s, the light goes out, the engine idles fine,
and the acceleration back to normal. I took it on the road and I felt
the engine not accelerating as good again and noticed the light back
on dimming. The question, is the clutch suspected to be bad and the
light is just another problem, or is it that my alternator is dead but
running whenever it feels, and the engine couldn't produce enough
power and sucked the battery dry to keep going hence the slipping
feeling with the throttle full open. Also for further information, my
gauge said it was running a bit higher then 8 volts, and when the
problems went away after I hit 6 grand, it went to 10 volts. Whenever
I have just they key on and not trying to start, the battery light
does come on, which I never noticed until I did the frame work and
re-installed the frame. The car never runs 12 or 13 volts (according
to the gauge), more around 10. I am off to do some electrical voltage
testing and see what is going on. But the question about the clutch
still stands. Thank you all for your time and help.

Subject: No Fuel after distributor
Hi,
I am working on a DeLorean for a friend but have run into a problem.
It quit running in the early 90's and hasn't moved since. I replaced all of
the fuel system parts. Everything in tank (except pump) & accumulator/lines &
filter & all intake/water pump hoses. His distributor was dirty so he
bought a new one from John Hervey.
I get fuel pressure where the main line connects to the distributor
but when the air induction plate is depressed I get NO flow to the injectors
(injectors are NEW) I have not touched the 02 adjustment as it is still
plugged) Just for fun I installed my working distributor on the car and
still had no flow to the injectors so I can rule the distributor out. I am
guessing this is a fuel pressure problem.
What are some things I should look for? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. The car is a late 82 and has the newer style fuel pump but does
look pretty old.
Thank You
Dave,

Okay....this car really wants my attention....I turned my lights on tonight
and noticed i had no dash lights!....i read some backposts and saw that the
rheostat may be the culprit but it has worked ever since i had the car and i
cant imagine it just stopped. Next I Iook and my right rear license plate
light is out, and my right rear back light, and my right side marker light,
and my right front marker light.....the whole right side of my car is
dark....but wait...my hazard lights are out too. Tried the brakes and they
both work, all turn signals work....i looked on the schematic and the only i
can see is that all right lights meet at a connection but i cant tell
where...
has anyone ever lost the left or right side of their lights????
Me and a friend replaced the steeriing column bushing and were careful
putting it back in. ANy chance we disconnected something under the dash? I
have been tinkering in the relay and engine area cleaning up stuff but i am
very careful and would know if i disconnected a harness....

Subject: Re: DeLorean Engine Options.
If the VR6 designed such that it can only be transversly placed in
the engine bay, then Jim is correct in saying that serious
modifications would be required to install the VR6 into a DeLorean.
If you would like to consider another engine with similar
specifications and manufactured by the same automotive group of
Audi/Porsche/VW, then I suggest the engine from the Audi A4 3.0.
This engine is longitudinally placed in the engine bay and with the
correct adaptor should mate quite well to the Renault R30
transmission. The engine specs (www.audiusa.com) are:
Aluminum 3.0 liter V6 with variable intake manifold, DOHC with 5
valves per cylinder, continuous camshaft adjustment and hydraulic
lifters
Displacement: 3.0 liters (182 cu. in.)
Bore: 3.25 in.
Stroke: 3.65 in.
Compression ratio: 10.1:1
Horsepower (SAE net): 220 @ 6300 rpm
Torque: 221 lb/ft @ 3200 rpm
In a previous post I mentioned Unicap Transmission Adaptors
(http://www.pnc.com.au/~bill/Transmission.html). According to their
web site they make transmission adaptors for "RENO:VOLVO: ALLOY V6,
P.R.V" engine (and other engines) as well as various Porsche and VW
transmissions. If they are familiar with the PRV6 engine and Porsche
transmissions, then it is probably a safe assumption that they can
make an adaptor that will mate the Audi 3.0 engine with the Renault
R30 transmission.

There is no drop in K&N filter for the D. You need to flip a filter upside

leaks (leaks mean dirt in your engine).
Marty Maier has been making clips for this. The page below has details and
gives the part number for the filter to use:

Subject: RE: Front rotor... cross reference?
John,
I also looked everywhere possible in the US but seems that anything to
do with front rotors and calipers is located either in the UK or
Australia???? Hmmmmm....Anyways, I still think that someone should
check this out and see if we can use it!
http://www.godspeedbrakes.fsnet.co.uk/4_pot_conversions/capri_cort/capri
_cort.htm
Basically, as far as I got with my research is that the calipers and
rotors are from Ford Cortina ( never seen the car) and when you look at
the calipers and rotors on this site they look exactly like the ones on
the D. The problem is that the guy wont respond! Maybe someone in the UH
could possibly get in touch with this company?
So John, since we are running out of options here maybe with your
authority in the D world and heavy pull and a little luck, could
possibly research this option?
I mean, why not upgrade the front brakes from 2 pot to four pot, have
nice thick vented rotors and cross drilled. I bet you could shortened
that breaking distance at least 25% ?
Thnx for considering and if anyone has a 2 cents to add, lets hear it...

Subject: RE: Front rotor... cross reference?
I gotcha. I didn't want to come across like you were unwilling to sell them
to me. From what I'm gathering the sets are somewhat scarce across the
board, even dating back to 1999 when they were first discovered.
It's actually a good thing that they are unavailable because I am getting
mixed opinions about them.
I have 2 issues at the moment and maybe you can shed some light on it.
1. Noise. How much noise do the drilled holes generate?
2. Practicality. I drive my car less than 100 miles a month. Would high
performance rotors even matter in my case?
