the OIL pan drain plug seems to be welded on.....

does motor oil burn like gas? if i light it on fire? is there a risk of it blowing up if i drill a hole into the oil pan or poking a hole...

how much are pans pans?

I started a thread specifically for you. If you have questiosn or problems about your fiero, then post them in this thread. I will keep deleting your new posts concerning your car unless they are posted in this thread.

righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

oil burns about as good as wood. Hard to get started, but once it's going it won't stop.

this is got to be the greatest car ever built.

...nothing wrong with the car - strip bolts are the result of the operator... :la:

I don't think he has figured it out with so many stripped bolts - turn counter-clockwise to loosen, clockwise to tighten....

THey are 5/8" always ao on every altaaernator that should help you should use cog belkts to it doesnt strip tho

the thread has been deleted but now he claims there is water in the oil. Should have taken my offer lowlux for $500. Its not worth $300 now.

if You do the swap you would have to pay someone to take it.

lowlux, Jesus hates you

Congrats on actually getting this far, the V6 sucks to tighten.

They way I did it, was loosen the top alternator bolt a bit, the one it pivots on. Loosen the bottom one enough that you can move the alternator back and forth.

Then I lay under the car, and simultaneously tighten the bottom screw while pulling the alternator towards the rear of the car. Putting the wrench on the screw at the right angle will tend to pull the alternator belt tight as you're tightening down the screw.

I put a pry bar between the alternator and the block to make sure I can pull hard enough on the alternator to get the belt tight.

The big idea, like /\ said is to pull on the alternator to tighten the belt WHILE you are tightening the bottom alternator bolt. Once that bolt is tight, you can relax your pull on the alternator and tighten the top bolt.

Yeah, it sucks.

I think there's a guy on Old Europe who sells a kit to add a spring tensioner to the wp/alt belt.

Rodney Dickman sells an idler for it: http://www.rodneydickman.com/IdlerPulleyKit.html This helps keep the belt tight and prevent the belt from squealing for a longer time.

Can we change the little quote under Lowlux's username from "can't afford a cheeseburger" to "has the IQ of a cheeseburger"? This is ridiculous...

The BMW 5-series stalks swap right over. I did it to my Fioer a few weeks ago.

Create your own. Sculpt it out of rainbows and dreams, then stick it up your ass sideways.

I think I like the new 1 Series stalk better... But if you want some custom baller points you could always have your stock one wrapped in aluminum foil. Then it'll look all nice and expensive, with no actual effort put out, which seems to be right up your alley.

From 88-96, the "E34" style 5-series. Mine came from a 1990 525i.
