Fan Shroud

[GCrowell]

Early in the speculation of what differentiated the 325/600 from earlier models, it was mentioned that one of the differences was the fan shroud was attached to the 600 engine. Another was the CAT. The ultimate was the data plate on the engine. Well, I have two out of three which is not bad On mine, the fan shroud is not attached to the engine but rather to the radiator in the 'old fashion' way.



Do any of you have the shroud attached to the engine? If so, I'm curious as to what other differences there may be.

If it's like mine... look at the shroud closely-you will see some tubes that come from it and go to the engine-then look at the way the shroud locks to the radiator-it allows movement-side to side-this is where the new "seals" are-the shroud is not what I envisioned (rotating) but rather a way to make the fan to shroud tolerance smaller without worrying about fan to shroud contact when the engine moves back and forth on it's engine mounts.

Robert is correct. You have to look closely at the top sides of the shroud. There is round support tubing bolted directly to the engine and the shroud is attached to that.
