Hello Teeners!

Is there a difference or interchangeable on this 2 type of fan?
Also anyone have the spacer #15 and each 3 of #6, 7 & 8?

Thank you!

The one with the "snout is early. Effectively interchangeable.
The (3) triplesquare ? bolts are specific.

Thanks!

We are trying finish the assembly of this rebuilt 1.9 early engine with W series engine from 1971 car. Cooling fan is just temporarily installed but no spacer yet and bolts.

They are not all directly interchangeable. Some use longer (or shorter) fasteners. If you have too long bolts in a fan that uses shorter ones, they will tear up the seal. Also, if you need timing marks, some significant differences exist and you'll be left wondering how to time your motor (can use a dial back timing light).

Also, it's a good idea to lap the crankshaft end with the fan and ensure the woodruff key fits properly when you final fit everything together.

Thank you also @Jack_standz also!
I think we can find head screw, washer and spring washer.
For now, we will appreciate if someone can find spacer #15 on your stash.

Thanks!
