[Roadsters] Electric Fan Question

[Daryl Smith]

I run a 1600 block so can't say as to clearance. I don't believe there is a 
functional drawback for either the pusher or puller.

>From what I have read, the least amount of wear on the engine is in the area 
of 190*, so if you can get it to run around 185 - 195* you should be good!
