Hello
I have the mysterious (to me) viscous fan on my NADA. The engine is off at Aluminum V8 for a redo and it’s threatening to make a reappearance here in Cal, but I came upon the fan when tarting up my ancillaries. The fan rotated pretty freely, which I gather is not ideal but then how free is free? Before the engine was removed, on the few and far between runs I don’t recall overheating so there’s no alarm bells there but I am worried the coupling is duff. Any suggestions? I really don’t want to be disassembling after I get the motor back in.
I get the feeling this is a stupid question but I am just not sure why yet.....but, can I just finagle the plastic fan with a permanent connection to the pump screw and forget about the clutch mullarkey entirely?
Cheers
Adrian
