Bought my first DeLorean a few weeks ago after looking in earnest for about a month. Drove the 4 hours to Miami area and picked it up myself. I bought a project, with an excellent interior/exterior, but with the engine in pieces. The engine is complete, however it is 100% disassembled. I have rebuilt many an engine, but never a V6, and since I've never even seen a real DeLorean engine all together, it is a very fun, but challenging jig-saw puzzle. I dry assembled it last week, to make sure I had enough bolts, etc. and to learn my lessons the easy way. Thanks to everyone who has posted engine pictures. Helped me figure a couple things out not specified in the manuals, i.e., auxillary pulley locations. Here's my question: This last weekend, after being shut down because of not getting all four thrust washers I ordered from DMC, I set about the busy work of cleaning threads, etc. I noticed there was corrosion around the number 1 and 4 cylinder liner seats. It has eaten into the flange seat, and had me ponderring an upper crankcase replacement all weekend. Any thoughts on this? I'd love to hear them. Dan in Cocoa, FL VIN# 3932 BTW $8300 for car and about $1600 in miscellaneous parts, tools, machine shop work, etc., so far. I am frothing at the bit to get this engine complete and in the car!!
