    1500 kms and oil on pistons' top !

    Surely the rings would be broke in by now. Its the other parts that might take longer. I wouldn't worry too much. 200 miles on dino would be plenty to seat rings. I'd say its fuel/ combustion components. Had you run in the motor on a dyno?

What I'm after is high velocity air (range from 200-270kph)and size of bag (20-40ltrs). There are also some lighter weight units. I think the GMC...

From the news reports, apart from evacuation notices, some people were ordered by the police to leave their homes. They may just be thanking them they did. Total loss of house...

    Best gear lube for DeLorean trans

    SF will either have something off the shelf or mix up something to suit your trans, if needed. I would go for the SF oil over anything else. PM him to get his suggestions.

    How long is my transmission going to last?

    I would be surprised if the tranny was actually dry without oil at all. Probably low and needed a fill. Certainly better to keep it up to the full mark.

    Tower strut bars (brace) worth it?

    A strut brace can improve the cornering, but not the straight ahead driveability. Two things to consider. 1/ There is differing quality of braces and 2/ Go for an adjustable brace and put it on as per instructions. If it is not put on properly or it flexes ( cheap brace) then it is not going to...

    Anyone use teflon tape on their oil drain plug?

    There is also a higher temperature rated Teflon tape which is a yellow colour. Used on say hot water fittings. Although the white tape would probably be sufficient I have used the yellow tape. Be careful not the run the tape over the end of the bolt as you may then get some tape inside.
