I think I will stick with the "clear" waxoil too!, but it`s very colourful Walter by the way if anyone is brave enough to take the engine this far apart.. Change the 2 coolant hoses that come from the back of the water pump and the 3 vacuum hoses that Chrispy pointed out.., MXI`s were very hard and cracked (22 years old hoses, not good)..I also changed all the heater hoses at the back of the engine.... you don`t want to have to go back in there for a long time!!.(not after you see what has to be removed to get there in the first place anyway!)

The back of the car stank like curing silicone for about 3 weeks. http://www.DMCForum.org/images/technical/engineholes.jpg Walt Tampa, FL USA DOC UK Website: www.delorean.co.uk Unsubscribe: doc-uk-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** Unless otherwise stated, all messages posted to the group are assumed public and may be printed in the club magazine ** Your use of Yahoo!
