Hi !
I am new on the forum and I have an Austin Healey 3000 MKI BT7.
I had a 6 blade plastic fan, however it hurts the radiator and I do not know why. After the engine has stopped by himself, the fan blade was no more in the radiator (but the radiator had a circular impact). The radiator, the engine and the fan blade do not move, so I do not understand why the fan blade has hurted the radiator.
So, I have replaced the plastic one with the old (original) 4 blade metal fan. Now, the engine start again.
I am in France and I would like to know if a 6 blade fan should be used or if the 4 blade fan is ok ?
I would like to know if somebody can explain how the blades can hurt the radiator (knowing the engine, the radiator and the fan are well fixed.
Thanks.
