skewie09 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have a 83 280zx N/A and I also have a parts car that is exactly the same. I noticed one day when I was messing with my motor, that I was able to turn the fan blade with my hand. So, I checked my parts car and the fan blade wont turn. Is there something wrong? I think with my fan turning while not running means my waterpump is bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Nope. The seep hole in the bottom of the pump will let antifreeze fuild out when the seal is failing. THis useally means the bearings are bad. This is not all the time since I've seen the bearings go bad and some how the seal was holding. The fan clutch should basicly free wheel unless the bearings have seized. Doing a electic conversion is pretty easy and quites the engine noises down alot. Seems to give the car alot more "pep" as well. If you have a/c beware, I've blowen two a/c's in my zx's, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
