Hello list,
I need some advice for my upcoming spring project on DeLorean # 6759 -
11.000 miles.
1) New exhaust (muffler) will be installed because of rust. (Yes, rust on
the exhaust pipes)
2) Should the cat be swapped with a new one? Its brown in color, so is this
discoloration from heat or is it rust? Is the cat made of stainless steel?
3) What about the manifolds? They are also very, very brown. Should they be
swapped with new ones, or is it possible to gently sandblast them??? If so,
should they be treated with something protective???
4) I believe all the gaskets should be replaced (cat, manifolds and
exhaust), am I right?
5) The lower part of the engine on the left side (under the manifold) has
some "not so fine" aluminium blemishes/spots. Can anyone advice on a good
procedure to brighten it up a little bit. This is strictly a cosmetic job on
the outside of the aluminium engine. Can brushing the aluminium with
sandpaper by hand be a way to do it. Or is this not advisable? I want to
make it shiny again.
6) Heatshields. Are there any replacement heatshields available INSTEAD of
the asbestos shields (behind the muffler and the one next to the cat)?
DMC JOE?
Best wishes
