[Tigers] Mechanical clatter- Friday AM Test

                If you have a V belt pulley somewhere you could try to run the water pump and Gen separately with drill motor.

 

The SS water pump should have the hub pressed to the correct position but that dimension should always be measured to make sure.

 

I use a laser in the Gen pulley to make sure pulley alignment is good but you could put a small laser on any of the pulleys to check.

 

I use the laser on the infrared thermometer I have but there are better options for that job.

So here is the plan...

 

Another Local Tiger Guy is coming over tomorrow to add another set of eyes and ears. I can not find any evidence of contact by the fan but We will carefully inspect the area to look for any signs of fan contact at rest and with engine running with and without the belt. Hopefully, after that I can make a command decision on what to attack...likely the water pump.

 

I have a brand new water pump from SS sitting on the shelf. I am told the pumps from SS have the hub pressed down into the proper position. When we replace the pump I will also replace all the hoses since they are the ones that were put on when the car was restored 15 years ago. Those I will need to order.

 

Thanks for all the help and I will show the final resolution once all is complete...might take a little while to get it all done.
