I am having my engine rebuilt. The guy rebuilding it discovered that the bearings in the fan clutch had frozen. He said he is going to replace it with a fan with out a clutch. He said this is better because it keeps the engine cooler. Is this true?
Next I would like to learn how to weld. I have several spots were new metal needs to be put in. What type of welding outfit is best suited for this? I always see welders at harbor freight or at home depot for between 200 and 400. Is this the type of outfit i need because this is about as muck as i want to spend. Also are there any good books for welding?
