Default '40 Fan

The fan & sheave balanced, and while I was re-installing the fan I couldn't locate the original bolts. It looks like they are 5/16-24 x 3/4" SAE hex head cap screws. Is there anything special about the bolts for the fan to crankshaft sheave ? Thank you.

The bolts seem correct just make sure they are good quality.

Apply a dab of Blue Loctite to threads as a precaution.

I used lock washers, but locktite is a good backup idea. Nobody wants a loose fan.
