The Crankshaft bolt

Make sure to remove Woodruff Key. Bentley does not indicate that the Crankshaft Bolt is reverse threaded or anything of that nature. So its Lefty Loosey and Righty Tighty.

BTW, its actual torque is 302 ft pounds of torque + or - 15 pounds. Most torque wrenches are not capable of providing this torque and measuring it accurately.

How studious are you exactly? Berkeley is pretty cutthroat.

Pretty intense when I need to be. Recently had a drastic change in my life that has made me extremely motivated to achieve success. So I decided transferring out of my lowly community college to Berkeley will be my first goal I would like to accomplish.

I have slacked off far too long and would like to have a brighter future than I have at the moment. Sort of a "bettering myself" endeavor.

I removed the crankshaft bolt but the woodruff key is still in there.

sorry to hear that mayne, but it usually is for the better.
i dated 2 girls in the last 2 years in colllege and each time i broke up it was pretty boring for a lil' bit and it really feels like a pita to go and meet new girls especially when its work/school/sports in your face 6 days per week. fight that pita feeling d0e.

right now, im in a slump myself. school/crews been in my face nonstop for the last 5 weeks and in that time i really havent partied or even been talking to any chicks. to make matters worse(?), we qualified for national championships on my team so we have 6 day/week practices until june fucking 1st. fml.

Thanks Mr.Sin(a). It's definitely a weird feeling, Almost like out-of-place. It'll pass. I know i have lots to look forward to in my future.

Once again thanks for all the kind words guys.

nick, did you have the system tested? bc that is a very expensive part without being 100% sure it's the offending piece.

Eric,

The a/c was working after you swapped the motor for me but one day last fall the compressor locked up and it chewed the belt up, so I just cut the belt out and decided to wait till spring before I dish out the money for another compressor. Now that it is getting warmer, I'd like to replace it haha

How much is an E24 spoiler worth? There's one on CL and I just got paid so I'm tempted to buy it.
