omega_rugal Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 today i was doing some work on the open cooling conversion for the Comanche and while at it i noticed this https://postimg.org/image/989x10cb3/ 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...

desbennett004 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 You can buy the waterpump in the same housing that runs clockwise, or counterclockwise, depending on application. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk 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...

desbennett004 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 The link isn't working, so I can't see what you're talking about, just giving you some general information that might help... Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseMJ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Grooved side on the grooved pulleys, smooth side on the smooth pulleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_rugal Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 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...
