In 1972, MG issued a service bulletin that said all the cars with metal
fans should have them replaced by the dealer, at no cost, by the plastic fan.
When I came across the bulletin, a couple of years back, I bought a plastic fan
and replaced the metal one.
Plastic fan seems to move more air and to be quieter too. As I always keep
fan belt very loose, I found its lower weight reduced squeal when jabbing the
throttle.
If the electric fan moves more air than the OEM metal one, why not remove
the metal one? Unless the two are moving air at exactly the same velocity,
one fan will be interfering with the other, not enough to cause this
overheating, but unnecessary.
