[Tigers] Mechanical clatter- Friday AM Test

Good Morning Listers

Thanks for all the input. This morning I removed the fan belt...and voila...the noise disappeared. Video with sound is below. I had a before video also but it made the email too large.

I made a checklist of yesterday?s input and here are the results:

Pulley hubs: All secure, no wobble
Spin fan & gen: No odd sounds...no contact with anything.
Dipstick: Straight
Fan & individual blades: Secure

Water level: Perfect
Gas: Shell 93 octane...always.

So what do you think. The fan is not hitting anywhere. With the fanbelt off the timing chain would continue to run...but no noise. I think those results rule our fan contact and stretched timing chain.

That leaves me with failing water pump. Although I am still a bit concerned that I did not hear any noisy bearings when I spun the fan or listened at the pump cover with the stethoscope.

Your thoughts/ideas please.

Thanks

Jim
