7.3L Godzilla | Front Crank Seal Leak

Click bait?
I wonder why the first seal leaked?
How so?
Probably just a factory defect. I doubt it's a pattern we're going to see.
Why a clutched fan vs electric? Now Back to the video.
Big truck parts for big truck.
Whelp, now we all know these engines are piece of shit with leaky crank seals. Spread the word.
More seriously, Jesus H Christ, what is the point of a OHV engine I'd it's buried in there like that.
Gotta pull the cab off to do manifolds or spark plugs?

Clutch fan is WAY more powerful then electric. Electric is used only used only when you have packaging constraints.
There's actually a ton of room in there.
I decided to watch. Not click bait.
I didn't see anything and I'm halfway through a timing belt on a Tundra 4.7 which looks like a 60's Impala.
I usually agree they suck but on something like this the reliability of a mechanical fan is second to none. OE electric fans are usually great but sometimes you get a full on POS design which craps out. For offroading, towing or long term reliance the mechanical fan is the way to go.
Way more that most engine bays no days. I can sit in mine comfortably!
Needs a cup holder though.
But also robs alot more HP/TQ and MPG.
Doesn't the 6.2L still use the electric fan over the clutch fan?
I agree, since all the real work horses and Diesels truck use clutch fans.
