Re: Oil Change info...



One question...the Delorean has Hydraulic lifts? I didn't see any 
when I was rebuilding my engine. Over head cams don't use hydraulic 
lifts, correct me if I am wrong. The adjustment of the valves is 
fairly simple, follow the procedure in the shop manual. It will 
require you to remove the valve covers to access them. The adjustment 
screws are in plain sight right ontop. You will need an open end 
wrench (I don't remember the size of it off hand) and a screw driver 
to to turn the adjusting screws. The nut on the screw is a locking 
nut so make sure you tighten it back after you adjust it. It is 
common to perform routine adjustments to a non-hydraulic lift system 
like the Delorean setup.
