Mark:
Actually I believe they were talking about the stock fan being bolted on
backwards. I hesitate to note that generally bolting a fan on backwards does
not make it blow the other way. Neither does bolting in on 180 degrees out of
phase for that matter. Or driving the car in reverse... :^)

There was recently a long thread on this subject.
Assuming that you are talking about an electric fan,
I'd say my conclusion is that the optimum is a puller
fan mounted on the engine side. However, a pusher fan
on the front side of the radiator will work for most
applications, but with some lower efficiency, all
things being equal.

... which is the proper way for the fan to be mounted?
Is the fan supposed to
push or pull?
