Lance and Group, I got called over to a shop here in Dallas that an 81 was getting water in the oil and the car had an oily smell. After a couple of hours looking, we found the block was cracked in the square pockets below the internal water pipe. After it was all cleaned up, it was welded and everything is ok. Big scare for the customer but cost under $100.00 to have an aluminum welder come over. My question or statement is, did water fill up the holes or pockets and freeze and that was what cracked the block. Would it be prudent to fill the holes with silicone or something to prevent water from standing.

I might be wrong. If you want to be 100% sure what the prob is and how to fix it I strongly recommend that you contact the Delorean Motor Compay in Houston, Texas USA via www.delorean.com, they will be able to sort out your problem and help with parts.
