I've been living with the knowledge the fan I got from you was the ZJ HD packaged as XJ clutch by USMW.....

Well, Hamsteh and all others that might have been thrown off: my apologies. I apparently had experienced tiny clearance with an UNKNOWN fanclutch.

Carry on as planned with all your own fan clutch ideas!

Err nope we sold you a regular XJ Fan Clutch. I was sure you had purchased the HD unit from OS (otherwise we would have exchanged).

Yes, your absolutely correct, Mixed things up. Hmm, can you maybe tell me what fanclutch I have received from USMW? I believe thats the same one as your supplied fancluttches from USMW that turned out to be other fanclutches. Or is it exactly that, which is now a mystery: what fanclutch is that?
Sure looks like a HD one..

( for some reason it wont let me put the pic in, because I already used in on another thread...)

Did this job yesterday. 30 min job even for a novice like me. Went wheeling today and the problem was fixed, so mint. Thanks for all the help in this thread.

Well, I've performed two tests.

1. Hot test, turn off engine, note how long fan rotates after shut-down..
Stops almost immediately.

2. Cold test. Spin fan and note how many rotations.
Not many. Barely 1 - 1 1/2 .

BUT.. I have noticed a slightly higher running temp (it's summer, dip stick) and had an over heat moment a couple of weeks ago. Although this could have been an aggravated circumstance. eg. Hot day, steep climb followed by a steady incline done in OD. With no e-fan. (it's full manual) Plus, I wasn't driving. Just sayin .

All in all though I'm still not happy. For a few months now I've noticed no roar from the engine fan.
Cheap insurance to just replace the thing...


cheers
