Re: [DML] DeLorean B28F Reliability

Sean,

The PRV-6 B-28F used in the 1978-1980 Volvos had "soft" cams and oiling
problems that caused premature failures. In mid 1980 new hardened camshafts
and improved oiling was added, this change included all PRV's built for the
De Lorean. Unfortunately the negative reputation stuck with the PRV.

Your De Lorean PRV will not suffer from these problems, no special
precautions need to be taken. Regular oil changes and preventing overheating
will allow your PRV to run for at least 200k miles.
