Thanks for you reply David I adjusted the strikers pins and they don't hit the door, they lock fine at 60°F and above. I even tried to close the door without...
An alternate way of seeing if the #1 cylinder is at TDC is by sticking a long flexable wire down to the piston and turning the crank until you see from the...

Dave.. The front ground (behind the front left tyre) seems to be responsible for the front lighting and the fuel pump, the more common cause for problems seems...
I'm sure this has been hit around the list in the past-But my front wheels are chambered out so much that my tires are already killed not even 10K of life-the...
Now THIS is an interesting point. So in other words, the ignition timing of the DeLorean CANNOT be set by aligning the crankshaft pulley marks and stabbing...
Get yourself a portable jump-starting battery pack. You can run your sterio off it and use it to jump your car. You might want to also have the battery checked...
PRV has a nifty way of locating TDC cylinder 1: Are 2 plugs on top of the engine. One farthest from the "front" (closest to the flywheel) is used to locate #1...

There is no front end alignment on DMC other than toe-in. Which means that either your toe-in is out of adjustment or all the new front end stuff was not...
Not particular to the PRV... All 4 cycle engines push their pistons to the top of the cylinders twice -- once on the compression stroke and once on the exhaust...
