Remember to check clearances before you bolt it up!



Easier to grind that radiator fan housing down with it off.

It squeaked when I tightened it up, letting me know there was an issue. I would think it would squeak when turning to. I'm not sure what other years that will happen with. Your fans are sure to be different.

In other news, my balancer is blowing chunks.



Any good ones for the L98?

What size sway is that? I just bought a 30mm for my '96, and it hopefully I don't have any problems when I go to bolt it up...

1.25" T. Very easy to grind the shroud away though. My year has the one main fan with lots of extra material. Just a heads up to check.
