What's wrong with this?
I'm trying to make the rotation of something (90,0,0) and I can't use Part.Rotation so when I do this it makes the rotation 116.62 instead of 90 why won't it make the rotation 90?
part.CFrame=part.CFrame*CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(90,0,0)

Use CFrame.Angles instead, it's the same method, but with a shorter name.
CFrame.Angles uses radians, not degrees. There are 2 pi (apprx. 6.28) radians in a full revolution (as opposed to 360 degrees).
The reason for this comes from math. Using radians makes calculus much neater (e.g., d/dx sinx(x) = cos(x)) and makes other identities nice (e^(i * x) = cos(x) + i * sin(x))
You can convert between radians and degrees using math.deg and math.rad, e.g.,
* CFrame.Angles( math.rad( 90 ), 0, 0 )
which happens to be * CFrame.Angles( math.pi / 2, 0, 0).
