Hey
i've just recently ripped out the 4ACrap engine outta my ae82 and put in a 4age but i couldnt get both fans back in because the exhaust manifold sticks out to far towards teh radiator. is there any way i can reverse mount the fan properly? at the moment it is a pretty dodgy job, i had to take out the condensor and sorta cable tie/ jam the thermo fan infront of the radiator and swap the plug around so it blows air into the radiator rather than sucking it thru. the problem is i will be puttin a/c back into the car later and this setup wont fit with the condensor in there. I have run the car with one fan but found that in heavy city driving it gets quite hot like the temp needle gets to 3/4, or at the end of the M in TEMP on the guage if you know what i mean, and the fan is just going flat out. this probably could also be a problem with my radiator not flowing properly i guess but i never had any hassles with the 4ac. Could the exhaust manifold be creating a hot area on the radiator, i didnt think that it was that close plus it has got heat shielding on it. Any ideas?
My twin cam has only one thermo fan and it seems to do a good enough job in traffic. But having said that the car usually runs cold and only comes up to temp when it's sitting for a while. Good luck........Chris
