The Incredible Heatere Fan Motor Saga[200/86 new fan motor] posted by Gordon Hull on

Well, Ole Blue is now as quiet as can be.
The new fan motor is wonderful.
Victor:
I tried your method of drilliing the holes and oiling. The shaft on the left side had worn the bushing about .065" (about 1/26" slop).
No amouhnt of oil would fix this one (unless it was 15 gallons of diesel oil and a match!!
Don:
I tried your Dremel... method.
Was going real good until I got to the guts of the fan venturie.
The original fan motor had a tin flange instead of 3 legs for mounting.
So we ripped the left housing off as per factory - and did the oe dremel - duct tape to the right side.
Started on this puppy at 11:30 pm last night - was at it till about 4:30 am - (what can I say - I was committed)-
Took another 3 hours today to get it all back together - what a dream!!!
My sweetie was suspicious that I was out all night fooling around. When I asked her what gave her that idea she said "you seem interested in new positions and you look like you've been &(*%^$#'ed over real good.
I explained that I had spent the night R & R'ing the heater fan motor in Ole Blue. She said that that took care of both observations.
(Actually the above two paragraphs are fictional, but it could be true!
Gotta run now - I'll be back later.
HAPPY BRIKKIN (quietly)
