Fan or no fan
Do you have to remove radiator fan housing to lift the head or can it stay on?

Re: Fan or no fan
Are you talking about a fan shroud on the radiator, or the fan blade connected to the water pump? I would remove the water pump before lifting the head.

Re: Fan or no fan
You can disconnect radiator hose at the top. Unhook the 2 radiator support rods. Leave radiator shell on and pull forward and clamp to headlight bar to give room to pull head with water pump on. I just did this and it worked fine but you still need to be careful not to damage rthe radiator. Ron

Re: Fan or no fan
Like Ron said. The one other thing that I do is put a big sheet of cardboard between the radiator and the fan to hep protect the radiator while you are pulling things out.

Thank you! The radiator is not on at the moment so this works out great!

Re: Fan or no fan
haha I did too... I blame Tom burning his pumpkin pie... speaking of the punkin pie holiday is near - everyone knows its against the law to serve pumpkin pie with no whipped creme correct? The proper amount is to do a nice 1/4" layer of it over the entire slice on all sides....

Re: Fan or no fan
Heh, looks like I'm not going to be correct because I am going to bury my pie with as much whipped cream as I can get away with!
