Re: Viscous Fan, Fan Clutch, and Radiator Advice...

Slight resistance but not too much. I've probably put 40 miles on it so far and not eased up much... should I just wait a bit?

The car's running really cool, between a 1/4 and 1/2 which I assume is the fan on constantly, plus replacing most of the cooling components?

Sorry to revert back here. The whirring is my viscous fan which appears to be constantly turning, not spinning on the clutch as it should. When pulling away it's ever so loud! When replacing it, I fitted the 32mm by hand as recommended. Could the viscous clutch be faulty or do they need to "break in...

Block Coolant Drainage Plug

Does it need a washer when replacing?

When I took it off I don't think it had one (may have fallen off, was tricky to get to) but I get the feeling there should be one on there...

Maybe a copper one like the oil sump?
