Sherman, was this a question, or a reply to Scott ?
I think I did give you the bolt size, and in fact I've run without the fan
and extension (or a dampener of any sort) for a long time with no problems
except the hub tends to work loose on the crank (solved with Loctite). I've
been told that this will likely break the crank if I run above 5500 rpm for
long, but I haven't, and don't plan to with this fairly stock engine. But
it will turn 4500 rpm all day long, no problem.
I'm actually contemplating a change to a real dampener (from a 3-main MGB)
and a narrow fan belt for the 'fast road' engine I'm planning to build,
which I do expect to redline at 6000 rpm. Things are moving pretty slow
though, and lots of projects are higher priority just now (like building a
tranny to get it back on the road), so it may still be a long time ...
