Radiator Repair

[davidbrady]

I don't blame you Chuck; you bit off a lot. Besides, it's a little risky pulling the fan back a couple of inches without knowing for sure that you have nothing in the way. Good decision to take baby steps. It looks fantastic. Rolando did a beautiful job on the shrouding.

Chuck and I have had lots of offline discussions for a fan and shroud modification on the LXi. What BB did is good but there's a possibility of improvement by going from an orifice style radiator shroud to a short duct ring. Going to a ring requires the proportion of fan inside and outside the shroud to be 2/3rds in and 1/3rd out, but to achieve this with a ring requires offsetting the fan to the engine side by at least 2 inches. It's doable, but one step at a time!

Nice job Chuck!
