found out why my oil temps have been so high. I discovered the other week that the alternator bolt went through the fan, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I knew it had taken out two blades but discovered today it took out six!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) I am (was) planning on going to okteenerfest and am hoping to get this fixed quickly.
My question is can I replace the fan with the engine in or will I need to drop the engine in order to replace. I have a replacement that is missing only one blade and am hoping that will get me by. TIA Rick |

I just tried to put my spare fan IN from the top just to see.
First approximation says - No you cannot get it past the top of the housing. I obviously did not try moving the engine around any. I am guessing that if you took the two tranny mount bolts out and lowered the trans end by about 1 inch, the fan would probably make it. Dont know if you would need to remove the shift linkage for that though. |
