 Fan center bolt backed out, I'm betting it's not as simple as just bolting it back in. |

I'm letting the boy work on this as it's his car and he should be able to turn a wrench.
The car overheated and he didn't know why. So we figured it was an obstructed oil cooler, or flaps may have been closed. After poking around and checking he found the fan has come loose. From what I can see with a mirror the center bolt has backed out and is MIA. Along with missing center washer. What should I be looking at here? |

I would have thought that an alternator light would have gone on too after a short while. Question for the Capn or anyone else. Can this part of the crank be repaired through a welding process? I am thinking either directly welding or metal spray. Then repair the taper shape? Or is it just not worth the trouble? |
