Reply to "Rounded Fan Hole"

Michael McKelveyAnn Arbor Supporting Member

@Stan Galat, I am close to convincing myself to do it. There is another member of this group, who shall remain nameless, who I believe has already purchased one of these fans. I sent him a PM yesterday but he hasn't responded.

I now think the fan hole became rounded when my engine was a 1776. Then, after the engine became a 2110, the super tight nut kept the fan from rotating on the shaft. I bought a nice electric impact wrench to get the nut off. It might be one of those nice but rarely used tools.

The first thing I plan to do is slot the holes in the alternator stand close to the shroud and replace the studs on the other side with bolts. Then, if Andrig's fan doesn't work out I can swap it without pulling the engine and shroud.
