  #1065  - the fan mounting was wobbling around and was making a 
funny noise.  This is an R2..

   You can do the whole thing in a few hours with the shroud in place. One thing
I do to make it easier is to cut the heads of two bolts to line the heavy pulley
and fan assembly. Now would be a good time to check the fan clutch too.

I had to replace the water pump on my '63 R2 as well. In the course of
talking to folks, I learned that the Studebaker V8 water pumps are notorious
for failing, particularly on R2's because of the side pull from the
supercharger. I actually ordered a spare water pump, and I make sure
everything I need to swap in the new one is in the car when I travel any
distance. 

The fan shroud on mine has been cut so it can lift straight up and out.
Getting the fan off is a lot easier with it removed.  I also put a piece of
thick cardboard over the inside of the radiator while I was doing the job.
It definitely saved me from dinging the radiator fins on several occasions.
