Re: M113K Into a Crossfire - Journal
Spent about 90 minutes on the project tonight. Replaced the lower radiator hose with a new one, as it was trimmed before relocating the cooling module, because the engine was closer to the radiator, making the hose too long. Now it was stretched to reach. Was a disaster waiting to happen.
Next, removed the M113K thermostat housing, and cut off the last 1.5" of it. Reworked the upper radiator hose to closely hug the front of the engine. Hopefully this will clear the fan better. Long term, it will still need aluminum hard pipe welded to it.
Next the 'guts' of the fan were swapped with the good fan. Had to stop there, but will pick it up again tomorrow evening or Saturday.
