Guys,
I purchased a fan assembly yesterday @ local wrecking yard and it has the white cap on the connector and is # F2DE 8C607 AB. On the bench it does move a lot of air. A hint for the mental giants like myself would be to check for missiles or any other crap that will be thrown at you off the bench when you connect the hot lead ..... LMAO !
A few years back I spent some time at Ron Davis Manuf. as his shop is local for me. He showed me testing he was doing on several manufacturers fan assemblies. He was testing the actual CFM these fans put out with and without the restriction of the radiator. What a concept to think about how it might work in the real world VS in a lab with no resistance to air flow. Lets just say the measured output when mounted to the same rad was no where close to the advertised ratings, the delta was huge.
El., you mentioned earlier you don't run an oil cooler with concern oil is now only 210ish as a high. Where are you measuring temp? I find an oil cooler really helps a problem child with overall cooling. The internal oil temps are always a little higher than most measure points. Oil will cook off moisture at 210* but wonder if it is not reaching that temp and more on the cylinder walls or the ex. valve guides and so on even if only showing 190* in the oil pan. Also wonder if oil change frequency and vapor extraction from PCV system etc. all combined make the trade offs of running a lower oil temp a fair trade. I think it does and run a oil cooler on my cars. In colder weather I do block off air flow and do run oil T-stats. Food for thought.
