hello to all of you delorean enthusiasts, i just wanted to make all of you aware that my second album has just been sent out to many delorean owners and collectors from around the world. if there's any more collectors out there that would like to receive this album or the previous album let me know your e-mail address and i'll gladly send both of them to you. about 1/3 of the items from the 1st album has already been sold and i'll be updating that album shortly so you can all see what's still available. i still have several e-mails to reply to as well. if you're one of those people...thanks for your patience. this process, as you can imagine, takes quite a bit of detailed time taking pictures/uploading them/categorizing everything for myself and all of you. i sent just a few broad snap shots of my back to the future collection as well just to give those collectors an idea of what i have as well. i'll be taking many more pictures of those items up close to give you all much m ore detail. i just wanted to throw some pictures on there to get a feel for any interest out there from any of you. in addition, i have a very extensive magazine/book collection as well for any of you who are interested in those as well. i have just about every magazine that has ever featured the delorean in some way...on the cover or inside the magazine. i collect the entire magazine as well...not just a wripped out delorean article from inside any magazine. these magazines are from all over the world and all are protected twice in a thin plastic see through top load and then inserted again into a much thicker see through top load. as you can see, i'm very picky about the condition of any item in my collection and how it's taken care of. let me know if there's any interested collectors out there that didn't get my e-mails for either album and would like to have me send them. Thanks again for all of your interest and patience with me during this time consuming process. kris kurth minneapolis, mn kkurth2675@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Financial Liberty Mortgage, Corp.

Re: antifreeze in my oil Posted by: "Harold McElraft" hmcelraft@xxxxxxx hmcelraft Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:34 am (PST) Antifreeze can get into the DeLorean engine oil from a couple of places, all internal, and it is usually not a good sign. Now that antifreeze has been into the oil you may already have some serious damage. Unfortunately, an internal leak implies some sort of engine damage or gasket failure has occurred. Failures rarely lend themselves to "stop-leak" types of repair. Since the engine apparently does not miss, the leak is not in the combustion chamber (it would miss, especially at start up, if this were the case). It could be a cracked head which could be checked by removing the valve adjustment covers or it could be a leak at the piston sleeve or liner mount at the engine block inside the engine. There are, of course, other possibilities - these are some common ones. If the leak is because of a piston sleeve gasket failure some stop- leak may work. I would recommend Aluma Seal - I get it at NAPA - or any good name brand sealer that works in aluminum engines. I would probably do that in any event to see if the leak can be stopped. I would also drain a bit of oil out periodically to see how much antifreeze is still getting into the oil. If you can't stop it you are destined, more likely than not, for some major engine repair.

Re: antifreeze in my oil Posted by: "David Teitelbaum" jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx jtrealtywebspannet Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:36 am (PST) Certainly not a good thing to find anti-freeze in the oil. Some possible sources include: Leaking liner seals Head gasket Corroded block in the top and leaking seals and hoses allowing the coolant to get into the crankcase. You definately need to find the source of the leak. Anti-freeze is not a good lubricant and will ruin your bearings, cam, cylinder walls, and pistons. A presssure test on the coolant system should help you find the leak. You may need to remove the intake manifold to examine all possible sources. Has your engine ever been overheated?

Re: antifreeze in my oil Posted by: "DarkStar" darkstarmedia@xxxxxxxxxxx darkstarmedia Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:38 am (PST) hopefully just a blown head gasket, there are worse things... don't drive it until you find out exactly what happened. There are more knowledgeable people than me on this list but I have worked with cars a long time.

Re: Announcing DeLorean Motor Company (Northwest) Posted by: "Toby Peterson" Toby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tmpintnl Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:37 am (PST) Hello List - Needless to say, we are so fired up about the opportunities that stretch before us. Please check out a couple of pictures that have been posted in the Photos section in the DMC Northwest folder. More pictures of the facility to come as we get further along in the renovation and remodeling process.

Re: Announcing DeLorean Motor Company (Northwest) Posted by: "therealdmcvegas" dmcvegas@xxxxxxxxx therealdmcvegas Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:39 am (PST) That's great news to hear! But, I do have one quick question: What impact (if any) will this present on *non-DMC* parts and accessories? Will Toby and Misty be allowed to sell things like the "Wings-a-loft" door kits? Will their products in turn be licensed to DMCH, DMCF, and DMCC for distribution at their centers too? Not trying to start anything, just wondering an honest question. -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, James Espey <james@...> wrote: > > DMC (Texas) is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed > with Toby and Misty Peterson of Issaquah, Washington to open the newest > DeLorean Motor Company affiliated parts, service and restoration center > - DMC (Northwest). > [moderator snip] Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (3) 3. Best LEDs for side markers? Posted by: "delorean_3" delorean3@xxxxxxxxxxx delorean_3 Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:37 am (PST) Group, I have in the past replaced various bulbs in the car with LEDs, to mixed results. I tried replacing the front side marker bulbs but the sockets were all rusted and fused to the bulbs themselves making them utterly useless. Now that I have new ones waiting to be spliced in, I was wondering if anybody could recommend LEDs for the front and rear side markers respectively. I have seen a "white" (more like blueish- white) LED that altered the color of the side marker slightly. I am looking for a bulb that once inside and covered by the plastic piece will still look original. If anybody has any suggestions, and where to buy, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
