 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 don't see why it could not be welded, but it would still have to come out of the case. I think the taper will have to be perfect or the fan will not run true.

No, I don't think anyone is going to be doing a quality metal repair between the firewall and the engine upside down. |
