The engine in the Delorean is probably the most reliable thing in the car! Some of the MINOR problems you can normaly expect: Oil pressure sender for idiot light will leak Idler pulley bearings can get noisy and fail Pickup coil in distributer sometimes fails when hot "O" ring seals on water distribution pipe eventually leak Hoses behind water pump eventually leak Valve cover gaskets eventually leak Exhaust manifold gaskets eventually leak and studs break Spark plugs, ignition wires, cap and rotor wear out or age Given all of these "shortcommings" this engine will outlast most passenger vehicles even now in service, all it takes is regular oil changes with good oil and NEVER overheat the engine, that is one thing that can kill it quicker than sh-t. You will be spending your money in most of the other systems in the Delorean including clutches, wiring, struts, fuel system, interior parts without worrying about the motor. The big money is a rusted or bent frame or damaged panels or trans work.
