    So i have a shitty clutch fan bearing and it makes my engine sound like shit. (stupid ticking noise thing) I just wondered where I can find a cfb and whats the labor like to replacing it. I can imagine it'd be a shit ton of labor.
    Thanks

    Get that taken care of ASAP. The fan has been known to fly off and take out the radiator. I would recommend upgrading to a electric fan kit.

    I don't know how to to tell the difference. But I do remember seeing the carnage when someone's clutch fan blew and took out the radiator and belt and some other stuff.

    Change it out for a Spal electric fan. I've had the Supreme Power EFK for about 5 years now. No clutch to worry about, less mass on the serpentine belt assembly, and the electric fan is more efficient because it is not rpm dependent.
