In the past 2 weeks I've had a few problems with my DeLorean, which is why I haven't posted to the list, or responded to my email. So for everyone who wrote to me about the History Channel show, and on the subject of headlight conversions, I haven't forgot about you! First it started with the alternator belt coming loose, and then taking the A/C belt with it! Autozone had the belts, so no problem. But here's something I've never heard of: While driving down the street, the oil pressure dropped to zero, and the warning light came on. The water temp went over 260, and the engine over heated. All of this was followed by a grinding sound from the passenger side of the engine compartment. After letting the car sit for 20 minutes or so, and adding a quart of oil, the engine started back up with no problem, and the oil pressure went back to normal. But I no longer had any water in the cooling lines. The cap on the surge tank didn't relase, but the otterstat blew out. I've now got everything back up and running as normal with no problems, but I can't for the life of me figure out what happened! 2 days before, I checked the oil level, & it was fine. After adding the quart of oil, the level was still alright. I've since done an oil change, and there is no water mixed in with the oil, so I know that I didn't blow a head gasket (thanks for all the help from DMC Joe!). The only thing that I have noticed that is different is the oil pressure. After changing oil and the oil filter, the pressure appears to now be lower, but what is the normal operating PSI? The back ground on the car is that it sat in the desert for about a decade before we had it put back on the road. If any one has any ideas, please let me know. When I get home ( I'm posting from work right now), I'll post some more on my expieriences with the car: water leaks, the Yokohama AVS tires, and more. Thanks in advance! -Robert vin 6585
