Viscuous Fan Clutch Worn Out?
I noticed that at operating temperatures (85C) and 100 outside, with my engine off, I am able to spin my fan clutch about 1/4 turn max with a good shove. Is this normal or is it a sign that it needs replaced?
I don't have any overheating problems at all. I'm just curious if the clutch should be completely locked at this temp or is it normal to be able to move it a bit. I also did the mod on the pin, but don't know if/how that affects things when it's already at operating temperatures.
