Why in hell does it say Japan on my Milodon water pump. I am taking a file to this and grinding this off before I put it on my car. I don't think I will be conducting any more transactions with Milodon/Japan.

While admiring my new Flex a lite 1817 I noticed that one of the rivets wasn't the same as the others. I flipped the fan over and noticed a washer on the back. I called Flex a lite to ask about this. They said it is a counterweight from when they balance the fan. This is what I suspected anyway...

Why would a Chevy (yeah I know, go to a Chevy website) have a bypass? I found this odd bit of information while researching thermostats. BME/Stewart modifies Robert Shaw thermostats to have three bypass holes because their water pumps for Chevy's no longer have the bypass.

Is it true that if there is any play in the water pump pulley that the pump is bad? I have an aluminum water pump on a 440 that has the main housing and the separate pump in the middle. The other day as I was installing a new fan I noticed that I can wobble the fan/pulley side to side a little...

I am still not sold on the 160 thermostat. I cannot get a straight answer anywhere. Everything I read on the Internet is conflicting. Personally, I would like my motor to run at a minimum of 180 degrees when cruising. So I probably need a 180 thermostat. I would be totally happy if my new...

Has anyone had any problem with the orange coolant eating away at their motors and gaskets? Recently I have seen a slick oily residue on the valley pan of my 440. I don't really know what to think of this yet as I cannot tell what it is. It may have something to do with the motor having been...

So the 18" fan was too big. It was slightly larger than the 18" MP fan I replaced. I should have been smart and measured the opening and ordered a 1817 17" Flex a lite fan. So instead I first messaged the opening in my box to give me 19" from the previous maybe 18.50". Needless to say I had to...

I say true.

So my car has always run a little hot, even with a fan shroud, 18" MP viscous fan, and 19x26 4 core aluminum radiator. Like 210-220 degrees in traffic, and even once to 230*. But while cruising it stays at around 160-180*. I am in the process of installing two 10" 1100 cfm Zirgo fans in front...

Here you are bigman. First off, the radiator is a 20x18. I bought it off Ebay and I think the same seller sold me the fan shroud kit. The kit consisted of a box and the shroud piece. The box was a perfect fit for the radiator. Unfortunately, the box was not big enough for my MP Viscous fan...
