The shop restoring my '85 FJ60 says this cooling fan (Toyota part 16360-61015) is not needed. The motor has been de-smogged. I'm not sure if the fan was working before the engine was dismantled but it looks important to me. Maybe it's like the oil cooler (nice to be functioning but not necessarily needed). I would like those in the know to chime in here with an opinion or two. If if matters, I live in cool central valley of Costa Rica, temps low 60's to mid 70's. However a trip to the beach would put me well into the 80's. Thanks in advance for your input!!
