In for the response.

If your car is already running great, skip the wires.

In fact I'd say skip the wires even if it wasn't.

also what degree of thermostat should i buy? 71,75, or 80? this is for a 1988 vert m20b25 production date 10/87

[mitch500]

anyone on the thermostat question?

[blunttech]

get the 80c thermo. check the resistance on your wires. if they are all close to equal skip the wires.. oe wires last forever. graf is a good pump

[ThaiRacer]

wow so i would have to get that 58 dollar crank pulley tool just for this kit. Ugghh more money i have to spend.

Chances are you can just buy a 32mm (IIRC that's the size?) open end wrench and grind it down to fit on the fan clutch nut and smack it with a hammer. Unless it's been overtightened, it'll come off--remember it's RH thread though.

hey, how did you get that little buggy flying around

[3bvert]

I have been real happy with the pelican part stuff, bought thier wrench, but ended up needed to install waterpump sooner then I thought, ended up grinding down a wrench as described, sent the wrench back when it got to me

I love my cabrio, when a get a sedan ( for winter) it needs to look similar to yours

shoot I can have 2 nice E30's for the price of one newer ricer, maybe I should get 3 like a wagon to haul my canoe
but Ive never seen an e30 wagon for sale

just went on ebay, guess I cant afford an e30 wagon, nice dream while it lasted, maybe Ill find a nice volvo 240 wagon and trick that out

You'll not "mess anything up", just get the open end wrench, grind it down and save yourself the money you're bitchin' about. Or not.
