I used Permetex Red when I had the pulley pressed on my pump. JB Weld
will also do the trick. I had the local radiator shop recore my
radiator upgrading to the 4 core with higher efficiency fins. I chucked
the six blade plastic fan for a BCS 90 degree square metal six blade fan
and it seems to cool as well but doesn't flex forward into the radiator.

Subject: pulley flew off
With all the talk of fans, I don't remember reading about the pulley
coming off the pump. I had (key word HAD) a six blade plastic fan on my
car. My son had it out for a cruise and the pulley pulled off the pump
shaft and put the fan in the rad. (guess all that air grabbing caused it
to become a propeller) I'm pulling the rad to get a couple prices on
core replacements with more rows. Meanwhile, what about that pulley? I
don't know if or when the pump may have been replaced. I thought I had
read about the pulley needing to be switched onto a new pump, maybe mine
wasn't done right. Should I give it a tack weld to hold the pulley in
the future?
