[TR] re TR4 help, cooling fan

[CarlSereda at aol.com]

Let's see a photo of this fan..
is it the earlier blade like spatulas or the later one with ribbed rectangles?
As far as reversibility, not that it makes a big difference, but it at seems
I've seen at car shows about 10% of 1960's Triumph TRs and 1960's MGBs have
their fans on backwards!..For some reason people don't quite understand the
airflow dynamic... blade still works, but works better facing forward..

ps; I would think the earlier fans make more turbulence than draw, especially
at idle .. could be why your paper sticks to back of radiator.. rev it up and
see where it goes from there!

If he drops a piece of paper into the engine bay between radiator and
cylinder head, the piece of paper sticks to the engine side of the radiator.

Curiouser and curiouser. I've rounded up a used fan, for comparison
or installation. I dunno... maybe the engine's running backwards?

That would really... you know...
