Hey all, I'm finishing putting my 6 motor back together and I just got to the
damper on it and realized I don't run a fan off the crankshaft and I probably
don't need the extension on the front of it.
I cool the car with an electric fan mainly because I don't want the constant
pressure on the thrust washers.  It seems the fan extension just adds weight
to the crankshaft and may magnify any oscillation of the crank.  I believe the
4 cylinder motors had an extension also.
Has anyone done this and what did you use to secure the pulley with?
Does this seem worth doing?
