some PO was messing with the engine, isn`t the fan supposed to turn in the same direction as the waterpump?

 

after a few tries i couldn`t get that belt to fit the right way, at least not without reversing the alternator and/or waterpump, since it has no AC or idler pulley...

 

the way i see it, i could unbolt the fan/cltuch assembly and turn the fan backwards to correct the airflow and get a new belt with the right lenght...

 

 

what you think?

 

 

oh my poor baby, some monkey was working on her...

You can buy the waterpump in the same housing that runs clockwise, or counterclockwise, depending on application.

the waterpump runs the right way, the fan/clutch rotate the other way it should...

 

 

btw is the link working? anyway, the waterpump must turn the opposite to the crankshaft, and so must the fan, in my comanche the fan turns the same way as the crankshaft...

 

like i said, some monkey did that job...

The link isn't working, so I can't see what you're talking about, just giving you some general information that might help...

Grooved side on the grooved pulleys, smooth side on the smooth pulleys.

finally got some free time to work on the MJ...

 

yes the fan was rotating backwards, whoever changed the belt deserves a kick in the nuts, running cool at last, and the fan clutch was stuck too, now works as it should...
