Are you talking about the pulley (which is attached to the water pump) or the fan clutch (the piece that attaches the fan blade to the water pump pulley)?

I realize this, I just spaced out and couldn't quite understand what he was talking about. I always forget that the fan sits on top of that since most of the SR's I deal with (except for mine) don't have the fan in place.

it "engages" and "disengages" the fan according to the radiator temperature.

i think it may be the thermostat. The thermostat sits between the water pump gaskets.

Is that what you're talking about?

No. The thermostat sits between the water outlet and the block.

actually, it's the water inlet and the block ;), unless of course it's different on a KA and an SR.
