Re: DeLorean B28F Reliability

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

PRV-6 in a nutshell...

Cams are not a worry. It was the older version B27F that had the 
camshaft problems. By the time the DeLorean was released, issue was 
resolved.

As I understand it (from my mechanic and my own car) only 1 spot on 
the PRV-6 in the DeLorean application is prone to leak that is not 
mantienance related: Oil pressure switch.

Lubrication is not a problem. 

While the PRV-6 is not prone to overheating, it is prone to damage if 
it does overheat. The water pump is a reliable component, but if any 
part of the cooling system fails, then you have a problem.

Overall the PRV-6 used in the DeLorean is a VERY reliable engine in 
itself. When not only the engine is taken care of, but the car is 
maintained as a whole, the words "daily-driver" and "DeLorean" go 
hand in hand!

Many of the products offered by both vendors, and fellow owners are 
there to complement the car in an effort to improve functionality, 
not to correct it.
