To start with, dad and I wrestled this stupid thing on, took us two days to do it because the oil pump drive cog wasn't lined up, and so it wouldn't push on all the way; to get it engaged, we had to get at the crankshaft pulley, and to get at that, we had to disassemble the entire front of the engine.
While working I happened to notice, "This piece of shit's all rusty!"
That would be from an 800* catalytic converter residing mere inches away from it.
Wrestled this thing out...
...so we could get to this:
The large pulley in the front with four bolts on it is where the fan and clutch reside. I took this as a reference for how to put the new belt on.
A little disassembly later revealed that this idler pulley is actually the source of the rattling from the engine.
And it turns out that both these fan bearings are done for too. One growls when you load the bearing and the other is all crunchy.
Which leaves me with this for the moment
However, it's not all doom and gloom, I got a shiny new badge for the grille
Compared to this crummy old one
Until then, my engine looks like this:
