I don't think that's the correct engine........

I live in Norway and bought my Delorean from the US three years back. But when they shipped it, the temperature in Norway was -10 degrees. And the car, from Georgia, had no anti-freeze fluid in it. So the engine has gotten worse and worse and now it has no compression on three of the sylinders. Both on top, in the middle and the bottom of the sylinders. So I guess the engine block is raptured.

Carl, do you mean there was no fluid in it at all, indicating a leak, (which could well be a head-gasket (and no compression)) or that it was just filled with water and not anti-freeze.

I live in GA and temperatures here can get to -10 occasionally too (surprisingly). But remember, anti-freeze is also an engine coolant and as it gets to +40 in the summer here, I would be surprised if the engine had no coolant in it if it was a running car.

Do you mind me asking for the VIN? (10184 perhaps - I recall it was exported to Norway and was a Turbo)

So I'm looking for a new engine. Have been looking for an old Volvo in Norway and Sweden, but with no luck. But I'm still looking.

So if anyone knows of an engine somewhere, please let me know.

(and excuse any mistakes in technical explainations, I barely know the Norwegian terms)

I have loads of internals for B28E & B28F and cylinder heads, just no blocks, let me know what you need, I don't want a lot for them, you could even get the engine to the U.K. and get our resident club engine guru, Tourettes Tony rebuild it for you, much much cheaper than any Delorean parts supplier, and it will work as well!!!

Tom R has loads of bits as well

Carl, there is a slightly newer version of the PRV engine on eBay at the moment,.

It's a classified ad so might be up for negotiation on price (£900 being asked)

Although it is a newer version I beleive that bits can be swapped across from a DeLorean engine to make it fit, apparently this has been done before by a chap in N.Ireland.

It looks like it has the right sandwich plate and sump for a delorean though...

I might know of a Volvo engine for sale

Where and how and how much?

That's my car alright. Someone thinks it might be the turbo that have ruined the engine, but others find that less likely. But the water froze when it got here, that's for sure.
