mx_freak69 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 So the sierra engine iv got in the esky has a thermo-viscous fan on it, and its gunna foul on the radiator sumthn shocking. Tried to take it off but its an absoloute cunt. Left hand thread and its got the tiniest clearance between the fan and water pump pulley so cant fit in a spanner coz its way too thick. Its sumwher round a 33mm size. Also kepping the fuckin pulley still is a mission. Have tried putting an old belt round the pulley, vice gripping it and trying to get the cunt loose that way but nothings happnin. Any ideas would be great! That is if you understand what the hell im ranting about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 either 1. cut the radiator shroud 2. get a non visc fan/pump 3. ditch the fan and mount a elec. one on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Do all the sierras have a viscous fan? Might be easier to locate a waterpump without one? Or replace it with a new item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mx_freak69 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 did you have a viscous fan on urs originally? or a fixed one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 gt Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 not sure i bought it with the electric fan on it also i have a 4age in mine so there is heaps of room between the motor and fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FKNLO Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 yeah just get one without the viscous fan on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FKNLO Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Grinding it off would be the way. Bashing i with a hammer usually gets you pissed off and you end up smashing more than you wanted to.. not that i'd know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
