It is not often that I disagree with Dave, but.....

A mechanic that is not familiar with the DeLorean may
not know the bleed points in the system.  If the
system has too much air in it, the water pump may not
circulate the coolant and you will quickly overheat
the engine.

If you do have a local mechanic that is unfamiliar
with DeLoreans do the work, I suggest you try and
educate them on (at least) where the bleed points are.

Hopefully we will see you at the DMA Spring Tech day
on April 21 in New Jersey, and you will have a few
dozen folks willing to show you the locations of the
bleed points!

Bring some GTLMA and Coolant/Distilled water with you.
 Maybe we will have time to do it at the shop that
day.
