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).
