First question, What direction does the engine turn? I want to make sure I have the blades shown the right way. lol.

The second question, I am having trouble tightening the piece which the water hose on top of the intake manifold above the radiator thermostat. (What is that piece called?). Should I get a new one, or should I rethread the hole?

Thanks for the help.

 

if your talking about the water neck , they are easily found after market cheap, in chrome...

 

thanks.

 

First question...the motor turns clockwise as you look at it, what blades are you refering to?

Second quetion...if there are no threads in the hole, you can get a "heli-coil" and repair the threads. Don't buy a chrome neck. They are garbage. The different metals will react with your coolant and it will rot, causing it to leak.

 

Please see the thread about the fan.

As for the water neck. I will try to use the existing one I have and rethread. I just wanted to ask to be safe.

from the pictures (and engine turning clockwise as you look at it) the fan seems mounted the correct way. but it seems you can't mount it the other way around anyway as you'd be missing a flat surface for mounting
