More Fan Clearance

[SADuggan@xxxx]

Hi All,
Thanks for all the advice. I'm glad I posted before I put the wrenches to 
the car. I realize now if I tried to remove the fan with the radiator in the 
car I would never be able to get it out with out damaging something. When I 
put the clutch and fan in the car the radiator was out of the car.

Being that I was building this car as a daily driver I've tried to update 
some things. Before I rebuilt the top end of my engine I had alot of 
tempeture control problems, the car didn't do good in traffic, not a good 
thing here in Los Angeles. I bought an aftermarket heavy duty thermally 
activated fan clutch. I thought they were pretty much universal. I haven't 
had any tempeture since then. But I think what truely solved the problem was 
changing the old timing chain that had an extreme amount of slack. It's 
amazing what proper timing and exhaust valves that actually seal, can do for 
engine performance.

I may just put on the old fan clutch if I can't find a replacement. I think 
it probably works fine. I'll just have another $80 paperweight to put with my 
other expensive paperweights. One day it's need will arise.

Thanks again,
Sean Duggan
