Re: [DML] Water in crankcase of Ted Campbells '81 Delorean engine

["Robert Lingo" <rlingo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I purchased an 81 D about 6 weeks ago.  I replaced the fuel pump, along with 
the fuel filter, oil filter, fluids etc. etc..  My car sat outside for three 
years.  I got it running, rough running it was.  The head gaskets were 
leaking (but I couldn't tell) and I blew them out totally on my test run. 
Found out one of the heads was warped and craked. However, it still ran, but 
rough.  Just like it did when I first got it up and running.  So I guess my 
point is; If it has a ton of miles on it, replace the engine. That's what 
I'm going to do.  Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
