Radiator Fan: Difference in Performance

Thursday, June 20, 2019 11:02 AM

My fan has taken a large dump. As I was checking RockAuto, they seem to have two different designs for the 1997 Z24 with A/C. Some with straight blades, and others with curved blades. Is there a difference in the performance or longevity between the two designs?

straight blades are better than curved for cooling performance. Curved blades produce less performance but run quieter. so if youre worried about sound go curved blade, but if youre more for cooling performance go straight.

Straight Blades it is! Thanks for the quick response.
