Race Fan?

[dkibel]

Well im glad it wasnt just me. I was at Lburg saturday night as well and my water pump bolts came loose. We had a water pump failure the week before and just used Lburg as a shakedown. After inspection this week we had a bit of runout on the water pump pulley that i thought was causing the bolts to come loose.

Dkibel, you running a Race Fan as well?

Correct, i have not been impressed. I put my 17" steel fan back on it this week.

Ended up getting a chance to work on it last night, took a look at the belt and all the little V's in the middle portion of the belt was wore down flat. I think it was just wore out, via dirt and being old etc. It may of been the original belt, not sure.

I ended up making a bunch of shrouds etc to shield it somewhat, they should help, hopefully.

Put one from the RF lower arm inner mounting point forward to the radiator area and up to the main frame rail (4" or so tall), this will stop a lot of dirt from going to the rack and balancer area

I had water pump coming loose as well...turned out the fan was out of balance...if running a 4 blade race fan you will have extra mounting hole for adding other blades...make sure it is balanced out across from one another
