The engine itself isn't cramped, it's the way it's installed. No car is designed for maintenance. The primary concern of the manufacturer is to design a car they can build with the least amount of fuss and cost (relatively). Maintenance is an owner problem.

I made an attempt to change my spark plugs and wires today and was disappointed by how poorly the PRV is designed for maintanence access. It appears that I will have to remove some of the fuel injector hoses and many other things just to access the spark plug wells. Why was the PRV designed so crampy? Anyone know a where I can find a guide to do this properly? Scott Tester scott(at)delorean(dot)com
