I am sure i have read somewhere that the viscous clutch should be stored upright and not flat as the oil drains to the wrong place?

Is this correct, and if so what can i do with the two i just bought from the dealer which have no instructions on the box for how to store the clutch, and thus it is hightly likely they have been stored flat.

Are they gonna be knackered? is there a way to revive them?

cheers lads

Stand em back on their side for a few days, should flow back to normal soon enough, especially in your area
