<VV> Top block cover bearing

[Matt Nall]

  Next project came quicker than I would have liked. The top blower bearing is 
giveing way fast and cant wait till winter so I must change it out now. The 
engine is a 62 FC engine with the 16 vain style fan that appears to be stock for 
that vintage engine. I have a 64 FC block that has the 11 vain 5/8 dia. shaft 
with the smaller hub and belt pully hole dia. that I may like to use seeing as I 
am going to purchase a reconditioned assembly. Can I use this assembly with the 
62 turkey roaster that is currently on the engine or does the 64 and newer 11 
fin fan use a different top shroud? I also have a 65 top cover assembly that has 
the 3/4 dia. bearing hub. Is one, 64 or 65/69 bearing any better than the other? 
If so I may want to use the 65/69 assembly. Need input here so I can order the 
best bearing assembly in the morning. Thanks. Seems like one project works right 
into another without any rest.

 Top shroud doesn't car which fan...go for it..


The 16 blade is great if you haul loads all the time in HOT  climates...


The 64-9  will work fine for 95%  of the loads...
