Got the hood to fully latch on the e28....now it won't open and my coolant light is on fml

Never had any issues getting them on. Use a hammer if necessary.

This is pissing me off, It's halfway through the rubber, but doesn't want to budge with hammering away at it.

If your using stock rubber jay good luck I had to use a press if your using poly etc it should be easy

Lube always helps!

It's rubber Lemfoerder & it's looking like my control arms need to come off, which means no meet tomorrow.

Soap and hammering the left side has it to the end of the rubber, but I just can't get it to go on. The right side is dripping with lube and doesn't budge beyond the front part.

edit: Going to see if Autozone has a press tool I can use to ratchet the bushing on. Fucking pissing me off missing the DUKE game!

Edit Edit: Autozone doesn't have anything...

Try a oreillys. Nobody else rents tools. Maybe baxters. I never have had that much of an issue getting them on. Only removing them, which I just cut them off with a cut off wheel.

Hope you can figure it out. Haven't seen you in a while.

Fuck. Got the hood to a point where it worked a little better then the fuckin handle broke inside

[e30austin]

Hahahajahahaha

Nah I'm out for tomorrow. There comes a point where you have to know when to stop & this is something that needs a press.

Hey you guys think that using 5w-40 oil.. Would make the oil pressure light go on at idle? Cuz ya mine started doing it!

[e30austin]

Change to 20w50. Could be that you have a bad oil pressure switch on the block, though. Or you did something wrong during assembly.

Why are you running 5w-40?

Change to 20w50

[MT325is]

It wasn't doing it before I took it apart. And when I drove it yesturday with 5w-20 or 5w-30 I forgot which one. And today poured this new stuff in and it turns on now.
I actually used to to try it out. Go thinner at hot... But I don't think it works well.
The previous one I had I ran 5w-50 just because I felt like it. But then again... My dash lights were not working on it.
