datzenmike Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Just replace it as soon as you are able. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Now wouldn't be a half bad time to upgrade to an electric fan. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It could let loose and ruin your hood, radiator, ect. It's just a fan, replace it, or you will be doomed, eventually. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It is common for them to be cracked. Mine has been for years. But it don't have a crack that big... Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I dont wanna install it then have to replace it, you cant remove it when the radiator is in place. I have 2 10" fans i could run, or a single 12... opinions? Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Also, think there would be an issue if i just sawed off the clutch assy if i go electric? Would the pulley fall off?? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I had some that were worse. But its a risk! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 The pulley is pressed on so cut carefully in front of it. I trimmed the shaft right up to the pulley and it came off. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Or just use a non-AC water pump Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Done. Back to the OE fan with a 12" electric "booster" fan Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 You fit a 12" in there??? Off of what, my 10" vatozone fan I had to trim just to make it fit. But, summers coming and I'm eventually gonna have to do more fans anyways, I'd like to see what you accomplished, sir! Quote Link to comment
albyneau Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 A barn door comment, but I'll add it nonetheless~ You *ALWAYS* want to worry about a bad fan. We've all heard (and I've seen) what can happen when they give up the ghost.... Scott Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 if it was mine and i didn't replace it it would go threw my radiator and my grill cut the belt and my hoses but i have bad luck ive had that luck before... <_< Quote Link to comment
