Actually they were asymmetric so the airflow over the block was more dispersed. With a symmetrical pattern air flow tends to be straight back. With the asymmetry it tends to form a pronounced cone of air covering more of the block and engine bay.I love the way the fan blades are asymmetric, must have had a resonance issue.
It was never book practice to remove the gearbox with the engine in situ. So I think it was a happy coincidence.That was the practical benefit of it, whether it was deliberate...who knows?
That wasn't the case with the V8.It was never book practice to remove the gearbox with the engine in situ. So I think it was a happy coincidence.
Oh, interesting. Every day is a school day.That wasn't the case with the V8.
You've left me wondering what you've got wrong in this post?To further drag it away I found I was wrong (been doing that a lot recently, apologies) turns out the asymmetrical fan blades reduce noise while keeping efficiency.
Discussion thread.
As for buying from @cobraboy I’ve just bought a LHD manual steering box from him and he was great to deal with. Super fast shipping and very reasonable.
I’d been told in the past that the asymmetric fan blades were for a diffused output. I spouted that then did some research to cite. It was only then I found out it was the noise reduction that drove the shape.You've left me wondering what you've got wrong in this post?
I still stand by buying from @cobraboy though. He’s a top chap.
Ha haHe's a top chap to sell to as well.
