what tool for valve adjustment??

[gokepsgo]

I was reading the pelican article and it said some weird tool I've never heard of. Any idea what I can use to measure the gap? Or how much it should cost

[E-Thirty]

Feeler Gauge. Get one that's angled as it'll make life much easier during the adjustment. I forgot what size the nut is, but it's a common one. And if you have a small allen key, you can use that to adjust the eccentric.

I just put in a new thermostat and waterpump and flushed the rad and its still running hot as shit. The fan is on too. Wtfffff. I'm sitting in my car right now and the temp needle is resting a lil past 3/4s. Does anyone have any idea why it is still running so hot or is this normal for these cars. idk its buggin me out

[gokepsgo]

Wow the second I hitpost it dropped a quarter inch but still hot. What sensor do I need to replace cuz this sucks

[gokepsgo]

Oh and now the oil light on my gauges is randomly turning on and off while I'm driving. I need some advice people, help me out please. I know you know your stuff.

You need to bleed the cooling system.

[gokepsgo]

Bleed? That's just when you let the coolant boil out of the resovoir tank right? I'll try it in the morning but it was doin that even before my thermo busted in half. Any ideas on the oil light. Its full and with newish oil too so I know it shouldn't be blinking like that.

Bleed the cooling system - add water-coolant mixture into the expansion tank, until it reaches full mark. Inside the cabin, turn heat control knobs to full warm. Start your E30, and let it idle and warm up to normal operating temperature. Loosen the 8mm bolt on the thermostat housing and let coolant mixture run out until there aren't any bubbles in the stream. Tighten the bolt, let the engine cool, and add water-coolant mixture to the expansion tank, until it reaches 'full' mark.

Thanks danny ill def get on that in the morning. Hopefully that's the problem but I don't think so. Pretty sure there's a meesed up sensor or something cuz it climbs real high after a while then just magicly falls back to a lil over half like the flip of a light switch. Hottttt to warm in a second
