Cooling Fan Exploded

[gperspective]

..along with the fan shroud.

only going around 35-40

just installed new bbk along with zxtrans kit / new belt and 9:1 gears on af16-swaped spree

still on first tank / breaking in and haven't given it WOT

if I remember correctly I heard a fast high pitched sound or maybe a ringing noise right before it happened but I could be wrong


has this happened to anyone before or know what may of caused this?


thanks in advance

Stock fan?

[paulpauly7]

Aftermarket fans do this .

[gperspective]

yes, stock fan

[curtis966]

Hmm I've heard of the aftermarket fans doing this but not the stockers. Maybe one of your bolts came loose I'm sure that could make for a pretty short lived fan. I would check for a striped hole or something.

[gperspective]

ah yeah

i was missing a bolt on the other piece of fan shroud - not the one that got torn up along with the cooling fan / encases the coolfan + most of the bbk

so i suspect it found its way to the fan somehow

bummer

i'll do some inspection and make sure it isn't still around

new oem part shroud + fan on order from partzilla

[gperspective]

also i imagine maybe a bolt from the main fan shroud may of rattled out

plenty of vibration with the higher rpms on this new bbk most likely
