When my son pulled the engine out of the half cut, he said that it had a hydraulic cooling fan. Does this run with oil? I do not have that hooked up as I have thermo fans, but that pump thing on the water pump is making a horrible squeal (like an electric motor). I am wondering if I need to loop the inlet and outlet and fill it with oil.

Can someone share their knowledge!

Yes loop the pipes and fill it with oil , May be too late tho
Why the hell didnt you ditch that pump in favor of the normal JZA 80 supra water pump.
It will be a fun job in the van

I like to do things the hard way, ie: Get the motor in as soon as I can then spend the next 3 years sorting it out - then it is time for a new motor. Sort of similar to water torture.

Lucky I am an enthusiast.

Thanks cambelt, I love this forum. Oil in and no more noise.
