5 blade fan mounting position

rockytopmark · 11-20-2005

I am in the final stages of my engine swap and am getting ready to install the radiator and fan back in. Since the Fan has a "non-symetrical" design is there a certain position with respect to the mounting plate, that the fan should be mounted in? Since there are 4 holes, there are 4 possible ways (rotating it 4 times) the fan can be mounted. Didn't find anything here or in the FSM that indicated that, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks, Mark
