[DML] Re: PRV's -- DeLo vs Volvo vs Renault





I don't recall ever hearing about DeLorean "head gasket problems" in 
any greater instance than any other old car. Yeah - they leak at 
times but not out of proportion to age/population, and it generally 
seems to be related to overheating issues that are admittedly a 
DeLorean issue if you don't keep up with your cooling system and 
electrical maintenance. Neither of these is really a head gasket 
problem.

Where have you seen square o-rings other than taking them OUT of an 
engin (i.e. used).
