I think Al is referring to the blades not being all evenly spaced apart from each other.


Yup, that is why I thought it was called a vicious fan. The way the blades were offset :2thumbs:  thanks i'm not myself lately, been over working myself

The "Viscous" Part of the fan I always thought refers to the Silicone fluid inside the clutch itself.
No, the 7 blade fan's blades are evenly spaced last time I checked.

Cooter is right about the fluid and spacing. I would really recommend a
MP fan clutch. They work better and last longer than any aftermarket clutch available.
We had to warranty countless fan clutches in the aftermarket world.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

Can anyone tell me what the part number is that is correct for a 7 blade viscous fan and the correct part number for the clutch part?

I am in search of both of the above and want to make sure I don't buy twice as a result of improper fitment.

If anyone has any spares, let me know or PM me.

Thanks ..... CHAPS
