As a side note and PSA;

If you're running the factory aluminum blade, steel hub style, check closely for stress fractures in the aluminum next to the hub. My original fan came apart driving. Luckily the blade that came off, went straight down and not thru the hood! Did take out the shroud as it came apart.
I found 2 more blades with fractures.







Hope this saves somebody from having to spend 4 hours cleaning under the hood.
