Hello Perry

I know the Marketing Manager for Davies Craig and he sent me the same, =
however being a cynical sort of bloke I don=E2=80=99t always want to =
take the view of one side.

Sir Patrick

Please peruse the web site at: =

They must have the best info on the globe since they are located down =

Hello

=20

Once again I am about to investigate the engine cooling of the Healey =
Duncan. Nothing highly unusual with it in that it=E2=80=99s a Riley 2.4 =
litre engine and unpressurised.

=20

Part of the process is to replace the existing Kenlowe electric fan with =
a more modern unit. The Kenlow sits over an inch from the radiator =
surface while a modern unit should only be a few millimetres. Of course =
it was never fitted with an electric fan when new, but it=E2=80=99s =
simply not coping with the warmer Australian climate.

=20

I will be doing all sorts of wonderful things like removing the cylinder =
head to replace the cooling tube between number two and three combustion =
chamber, refurbishing the radiator, rodding the block etc etc.

=20

The question that=E2=80=99s on my mind concerns whether to install an =
electric fan with curved or straight blades. Australian manufacturer =
Davies Craig says that straight blades are best, but they would say that =
as that=E2=80=99s what they make.

=20

Anyone undertaken any research as to what=E2=80=99s the most efficient?

Where it=E2=80=99s raining again - wonderful
