[Tigers] Mechanical clatter- Friday AM Test

[Tony Lang]

Someone mentioned removing the fane and putting the belt back on. IMS an original water pump hub had studs and nuts attached the fan. I think my present Mk1 has bolts, not my install. Point being the bolts may be to long and hit the radiator, especially if the hub isn't pressed on correctly but if the fan is held in place with nuts, a good end wrench and nimble fingers will have it off in short order. At last it looks like your noise will soon be gone.

Re install the belt and set the tension really low.


Noise?


Increase tension to normal and see if the noise is still there.


Either way, I would be ordering a pump from SS.

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
