Reading the recent TEAE test results on cooling, etc. got me to thinking about 
the placement of my mechanical fan relative to the
fan shroud.  I took a gander this weekend and far from being 1/3 to 1/2 of the 
fan blade in the shroud, my fan blades are entirely
in the shroud (and pretty solidly in at that.)

This leads me to ponder 2 things:

- Is this a big problem in terms of air flow?

- How can I move the fan further back?  Is the problem:
        - fan shrould too deap (it is a repro)
        - water pump hub too far forward (it is a replacement,
          though supposedly the correct beast installed by a
          Tiger specialist.)
        - engine to far forward
        - possibly all of the above

thanks in advance,
