[TR] Push or Pull

There's no question the puller works better. With a puller
on my TR250 I can get away with a 1200 cfm fan, using
a pusher I need 2100 cfm. I run a pusher cause I like the
unobstructed access to the crank pulley bolt - useful
for attaching a spanner to spin the motor when doing
valve adjustments. At highway speed she runs plenty cool,
no issue with obstruction.
