I have a Hayden 7-bladed (asymmetrical) fan on the shelf. The blades
are rectangular and more highly curved, and could really move air.
Unfortunately, it was loud as hell at idle and would blow dust out
from under the car; but it was the one thing that did the most to
reduce temp at idle.<br>

<div>Although it probably won't make much
difference to "heatsoak" situations one
thing that was mentioned during our
local club Zoom meeting was the idea of
adding a 3rd blade to a standard 6 cyl
fan, something I'd never heard of.
<div>This sounds like a very good idea
and at least a couple of our members
have done this with outstanding
results.</div>
<div>Slightly longer screws are
recommended for securing the 3 blades
to the waterpump pulley.</div>

<div>Also the key to cooling an

air flow is very important.
The stock AH fans do not move

while driving;
but the other

refuel, the

the gauge to hit

it fires up.
That usually
