[@danandyong6653]

The triangle shaped piece stuck to the bottom of the tank was probably a buffer between the tank and skid plate, would prevent tank from rubbing, and vibration tapping due to such close tolerance between the tank and skid plate... Definitely re-apply. Best replacement would be the adhesive backed sound deadening mat used in interiors

[@jspaulding4106]

Maybe prevents static as well...?

[@ovlov245]

Proper material for the job....Not just sound deadener.

[@TravisFabel]

@@jspaulding4106 You wont need a static conducting matt/strap on this because it uses an internal static dissipating conductor inside the fuel tank. You can see it later in the video.

You've stumbled on Lesson #1 in car restoration. You MUST love the car/truck in order to be able to have the endurance required to fix it completely and correctly. I really like how knowledgeable, prepared and PATIENT! you are.

[@LatersOnTheMenjay.]

Watching you diagnose calmly while the world fills up with smoke is the difference between a professional and an enthusiastic - but relatively clueless - DIY'er like myself. I would have automatically assumed the worst, shut it down immediately and then shut the garage for 6 weeks until I'd googled up the courage to try again. Love your work!

[@danw1955]

Loving this series Alex! I've worked on a LOT of CIS injection back in the day when it was pretty popular on VW Rabbits, Jettas, Volvos, etc. and it actually was a pretty bullet-proof system, as long as you didn't let them sit around too long. Fuel pumps seemed to be the main failure point, since they were relatively high pressure, and aftermarket pumps NEVER worked as well as the original Bosch units, even though the originals were 3 times the price.😝 Reman injectors were pretty cheap, and would often fix multiple problems just by replacing them. No one, except the dealers, had access to any kind of injector cleaners, so we were stuck with just trying to clean them with compressed air, if anything. The old V6 sounded pretty good after it ran for a bit and got all the cobwebs out. I think once you get the plug drilled out for the mixture compensation screw, and you can fine tune it, it will be golden! If you have a simple CO meter to stick in the exhaust, and just keep it a little on the rich side of the recommended CO settings, it will run well and have plenty of power. If the cat is clogged, you can get universal replacement converters on Ebay for 50-70 bucks. Looking forward to the next installment!😉

[@edherdman9973]

Good German engineering getting a boost in this video with the Bosch pump and the Sonic wire tools.

[@jonleyton7905]

That mixture screw will help, best set with a gas analyzer. CO meter.

[@mstar501]

Rule is not to mess with the adjustment screw unless you know and have the equipment to measure and tune it. Same is for the mechanical weighing plate, don't mess with the set factory settings!

[@sandraclowdus6549]

I would advise converting this to coal & water. both are easy access. ,,and they can climb mountains. Cleaner environment. A Study by fake college experts agree.

[@michaelwarner5277]

That DeLorean looks literally like it rolled off the factory floor. You have done such an amazing job with restoring this thing. John himself wouldn't have been prouder of the work you've done had he still been alive today. So just a couple of questions - what were the parts of the restoration you liked the most? what were the parts of the restoration you liked the least?

[@jwalster9412]

It looks better than the factory. I bet some of the (against grain) scratches were there from the factory.

[@R.d.A.B]

Man, you're like the whole package. Great host, entertainer, mechanic, etc. I wish you the best, my dude.

[@ChurchClown7]

The black triangle is to absorb rubbing between two surfaces. It might have a static electricity purpose also.

[@TWRSHO]

Nvh was what I was thinking too

[@Stepclimb]

In addition, it could absorb vibrations so that metal plate does not sing.

[@edherdman9973]

I was kinda surprised he didn't say that after pointing out the leather wedged in between the chassis/frame (or something) earlier.

Hey Alex, I’m from Brazil and for the last couple years, it has been a such pleasure to wake up Saturday morning knowing it’s gonna have a new video. Just thank you! KZbin changed your life so you did mine.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks brother!

[@martinmiller8275]

awesome video series.......you have no idea how much you are helping and inspiring me as a 23 year Delorean owner to learn and work on some of my own stuff on my Delorean. Please do a series on all the inner workings and repairs and replacements for this car. You will help so many of us!

[@nath1774]

This is such a fun series. You asked about ethanol in ND during 1981-1991. Definitely possible. I grew up in DeKalb, IL in the 1980's, and it was already available. I remember putting "gasahol" as it was called in my 1987 Ford Mustang. Being the Midwest and farm country, the Farm Bureau was pushing its usage, and I definitely could imagine an agriculture heavy state like ND having it available from the mid 1980's onward.

[@stevesether]

I'd agree. I live in MN, and there were definitely stations that had ethanol fuel starting sometime in the mid 80s or so. I remember my father complaining about it. So given ND also produces a lot of corn, it wouldn't surprise me if they also had stations that sold fuel with ethanol in it. So there's no guarantees.

[@brucephelps678]

Sounds great Alex! MY fingers are crossed for your oil passage to be in good shape. Loved your little fuel injector test. It was very cleaver. I truly enjoy your channel. I also enjoy the fact that you are very thorough with everything. Not just the cleaning which you spend a lot of time doing, but the checking and re-checking those little things that could come back to haunt you later. You have an excellent work ethic, and it really shows. You also explain what you're doing in a way that anyone can understand. I thank you for that. I have this sudden urge to listen to Huey Lewis for some reason. HA HA! Keep up the good work Bro.

A little tip about crush washers everywhere on your car.... After torquing the bolt down that has a crush washer(s), hit the head of the bolt once with a hammer (brass if ignition is a concern) and re-torque . This sets the crush washer to sit absolutely flush for a leakproof seal. Do this especially on your brake line to caliper banjo bolts.

[@marknelson8724]

Cool tip. Now I need a brass hammer.

[@srboromir452]

I've got a little brass head jewelers hammer somewhere, is that heavy enough?

[@Bluswede]

​@@marknelson8724 Minor problem, Mark, just build a beefy CNC Router (cheaper than buying) and use it to carve out a master pattern of the hammer's head...and a few graphite crucibles. Then build yourself a drain-oil-heated melting furnace using a junk oil furnace blower/burner and a cut off propane tank lined with refractory cement mixed with long-fiber fiberglass matt. (note: flywheel from a '38 Dodge pickup is perfect for the lid) Use the CNC Router to finish the appropriate areas of the cast hammer head and create a custom Mountain Ash handle. Now test-fit the handle just to be sure. Next, lay the head on a folded towel, on your most rugged bench or table, and beat the stuffin's out of it with a good, 24-ounce nailing hammer and the ball end of a much smaller ball-peen hammer to give it character. Then de-burr by lightly filing with the required shapes of very fine files and give it a good going-over with a palm sander and 320 grit, moving to 600 grit. Finally, apply a compound to achieve a patina of your choice and buff it out so the high spots are less affected, implying age and heavy use...apply diesel drain oil to the handle, quickly wiping it off the handgrip area...wire-brush the handgrip area...apply a honey-colored log cabin finish...sand the whole handle to cut the gloss...insert and seat the handle to the head...smack home the wedges trim the excess handle, dip the whole thing in drain oil, drop it in your half-full shop vac's can...wipe it off while deeply distracted by the neighbor lady prancing around her back yard in a scandalously-cut maillot swimsuit. And, you're done! I'm only as far as building the Router, but I have hope! (7 videos on my channel)

[@willemp6432]

That is some old school good shit man. That`s what my teacher told me in school in the early 80s. Mr Rogers. He was a mechanic on planes in the 2ed WW. Good stuff man.

My father has a Delorean here in the UK, it was fully restored about 8 years ago and the underside of his looks like new. Every bit of the suspension, every joint, everything is all new to look at and there is absolutely zero rust to see. That's what you need to do to yours Alex!!!

[@billmorrell4048]

The bottle flip was 👌. One of the best mechanical content creators on KZbin. Love this series.

[@NJRoadfan]

Before messing with the mixture adjustment screw on the CIS distributor, make sure the following is checked and fixed first: -Find and fix all vacuum leaks, since K-Jet can't compensate for them well. Metering plate not moving down enough is a classic sign of this. -Make sure the oxygen sensor system is working and entering closed loop. There should be a 2-pin plug dangling somewhere in the engine compartment. This is where you plug in a duty cycle meter and check that it is hovering in the correct range. Shop manual will have all the details. K-Jetronic was 100% mechanical, except on US cars where an O2 sensor and "frequency valve" was bolted on for emissions.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

You were giving me an anxiety attack when you had your arm stuck . Smart thinking Alex , so glad you always have a cell or buddy close . Really great series. Such excellent production quality.

[@ronhannink1968]

Alex, it's been a real treat to watch you do this project. Again, I am so very proud of you. For taking pride in your work and the good spirits you are maintaining. As far as the car "only having 16,000 miles" I agree with you. Based on the condition of the underside. The oil build up. The torn CV boot and so on. There is NO WAY that car only has 16,000 miles on it. I think it is safe to say it's very likely at least 116,000 miles or more. As an example. We just got a 1990 International 4700 diesel in. It only has 45,000 original miles. The dead give away was not only car fax, one owner. The motor it self is still shiny and blue. No oil build up. Sorry, I don't mean to ramble. I was simply sharing. Again, I do enjoy your videos. Ron

[@brianlassiter5302]

Fellow DeLorean owner (VIN 04228) and huge fan of your channel! Solid work on this rebuild and restoration! One suggestion regarding the fuel system. My DeLorean only has 14K miles and also was garage kept for 27 years and required a complete fuel system rebuild front to back. I have been to a great deal of DeLorean car shows and was told those CIS systems operate much better on non ethanol fuel so I found several gas stations that carry it. Just a suggestion since that Bosch CIS distributor has such tight tolerances and can be a headache. Keep up the good work! Very excited for this new project You have going.

Hey Alex, just talking to my friend who has a Delorean, he said replace the injector lines asap with braided lines, the original are prone to split and as you could imagine spray fuel everywhere. Everyone needs to pause for a minute in respect for the 6 Deloreans that meet their end in Australia today, a truck rolled down a hill through a workshop destroying everything in there.

The work on the fuel system was actually quite interesting and especially the testing of the injectors and retoring them to 100%. Your commentary was spot on and hilarious. Initial examination and diagnosis shows Injector # 2 looks like it has a possible UTI, # 6 a kidney stone or other obstruction. 😂 Glad it all worked out and flows so well! Things are looking better mechanically. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻 As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@MnPaul1]

Your fuel distributor was probably okay. If the other injectors were getting fuel, that one should have it too. There are small screens down in the holes where the lines attach and one was plugged. There is a metal diaphram in the fuel distributor that covers the holes going to the injectors. When you press down on that air flapper, it allows more fuel pressure to be on the top side of that diaphram pushing the plate down and allowing more fuel to flow out to the injectors. It is a pretty simple system.

[@travisfabel8040]

Those engines were used in Alpine a310, either N/A or turbo, up to 200hp iirc. Or even 250 to 280 in the a610. They might be hard to find in America though. These engines went to more than 400 in Venturis, with special heads (I think Lotus had a hand in it), but these are rare and most likely very pricey.

The only thing I that looks a bit sketchy (at least from the video is you should be careful of the heat shield around the muffler. Looks like it could be asbestos from back in the day. Use a respirator when removing this to protect your lungs. Do a bit of research on any heat shield material. Other than that, I'm looking forward to the remainder of the video!!

I was thinking the same about those braided fuel lines, no real reason to use asbestos on these but you never know.

[@davidbublitz6571]

The heat shields are asbestos. I think he'll be getting rid of the OG exhaust and going with the newer upgrade that is available. Most of us go with the upgrade because it allows the engine to produce more power.

One of the best shows on YT, thanks Alex. You reminded me: back years ago (2002 or so) I got a 1984 Porsche 944, had a frickin blast with it for 32 miles, but then it jumped time and smoked the engine. Got a few mechanic opinions and it was far outside my price range to fix. Not even a week after I found that out my mechanic out in the country called me and said there was an identical Porsche 944 in his buddys garage right down the road. I ended up buying it for $1500 as it had been setting for 13 years. Towed it to his shop (good friend/mechanic) and proceeded to give it an oil change, drain the fuel, clean the intake tubes and airfilter system (good thing as it had a mouse nest) refilled with 5 gallons of recreational fuel with 3 bottles of Cyclo fuel injection cleaner, new battery and sanded terminals: Fired up on the 3rd turn and ran like a top for the next 70,000 miles. I was so frickin happy like you were with the Delorean-instant reminder of this story as the 1984 Porsche 944 na, and the 1983 Mazda RX7 were my 2 favorite sportscars ive owned (the only ones, but I've driven many) Thanks again for great videos

I got a label maker for marking hoses and other things. Makes your markers look factory. Come in many colors and even shrink tube to print on. Well worth the investment. The shrink tube with the solder and flux inside it are amazing once you get used to them. You need a heat gun for them so no worries about fuel vapors.

Hi Alex, I have a 1981 BMW 320i with the same K Jettronic fuel injection system. This car sat for 36 years. It smoked exactly the same on the first initial startup. It was incredibly rich. thought the motor was blown. You might have to retune the injection system. When you replace the fuel distributor unit it doesn't come adjusted. You have to put a multimeter on the oxygen sensor and adjust the airfuel mix/injector tuning screw on the CIS unit. You should be good after all that

I am restoring a '82 BMW E21 that sat for 25 years and had my fun with a CIS fuel system! Pro tip: if the fuel distributor plunger is stuck open and you fill your cylinders with fuel, remember to disconnect the coil when you pull the plugs to blow out the fuel.... you'll find a quick way to trim your beard with fire 😉

This is the type of vid that made me subscribe. Loving this series.

I think the song you're thinking of is "Trouble" by TV on the Radio. The chorus is "Everything is gonna be ok," and it's a beautiful tune.

great to hear it running on its own fuel system cant wait to see it being driven

Awesome progress Alex! Chicagoan here, like I actually live in the city. Specifically North Park only a few neighborhoods away from your hood which I won't share. I'm always on the lookout for you in one of your LSC rides. I'll definitely cruise by once you "yard" the DeLorean.

You reeled me in with the space van and now this Delorean rebuild. Anyone who can get their arm stuck in a gas tank AND locked in their concept van wins in my book.

Congratulations! Glad to see it runs. Looking forward to seeing the next video.

I just resurrected a 1976 corvette with a 4 speed that had been sitting since 1990. Was super fun going through the whole car and getting it going again. To bad it was for a customer and my own. But that thing fired up on Gas from 1990 from California and she ran good. Gas from back in the day without ethanol was the best

It LIVES!! At least for now until that valley inspection. If you ever need to replace the engine, I vote you do a Honda J-series swap! A gorgeous Delorean like that with the reliability of a Honda engine, oof (Chef's kiss). The car looks amazing, man. Can't wait to see it driving! Getting a Delorean has always been a dream car of mine as well as many other people from our generation, I'm sure, lol. We're all living vicariously through you right now, haha.
