Well, tried replacing the oil cooler line o-rings at the thermostat today. The fucking torx bolt was basically stripped. Sweet. Ended having to take the whole thing out:

But at least I got my oil cooler lines. :lol:<_<

I might have a thermostat assembly on my other block, but if I don't, anyone have one?

Oh, and I think I may have found part of my clunk (these are only one month old):

Isn't that torx damn near impossible to get with the oil thermostat installed? My lines are fine but when I had my oil pan off I made sure to replace the orings and oil tstat gasket, so easy with no oil pan. :lol:

And yes, I'd say your mount is fawked. Is it aftermarket? Aftermarket > suspension > no no

OEM Sachs FCP 60 bucks per ORRR both my new Genuine Volvo strut mounts ran about 200 :lol:

I figured I'd pony up once and never worry about them again.

Shoot me a PM if you need door handles. You can have as many as you need, I have plenty of 850 handles laying around.

I meant to wash it but ended up wrenching on my grandparents' Buick (CPS & cluster removal, GM refurbishing it for $230!!!) followed by Mike's rear shocks. What a oh yeah&#33;, shocks are supposed to be easy. He has one newer Sachs shock that will just not come off the lower stud, nut comes off just fine, the monkeyer is just bound up for some reason. :huh:

^^^that's why air tools rock, put the air hammer bit on and whackwhackwhack off she pops. :lol:

Haha, the nut came off ok though. :huh:

It's a newer shock too man, it shouldn't be bound to the stud. :angry:

if you need I have a air hammer with an assortment of attachments, it's different then the impact gun.
