Just in the process of doing some engine detail work
on my bj8 and removed the 6 blade fan for cleaning and
painting. I was quite surprised to find a rather
strange blade configuration. The spacing between the
blades is NOT even, as a matter of fact 2 pair
actually overlap one another slightly. Surely this
cannot be correct and must be the work of a previous
owner simply mounting 3 pairs of blades together?
This could not be balanced or efficient at engine
cooling?!? Wouldn't it be better to use just 2 pair
of blades under the circumstances?
Secondly, when I re-install the fan blades, should a
thread compound be used to insure the blades don't
loosen and become projectiles?
thanks in advance,
John Lakie
