Ah. The stock, nearly flat, 4-blade fan NEITHER pushes nor pulls through
the radiator. Some might say it sucks, but rather it gently wafts air
around the engine compartment, and as an added benefit blows oil leaking
from the front main seal back across the engine block to provide even
rust proofing.
