I guess, given the valve seat stories and the 100+ degree F weather that is
hitting most of the US, there are a lot of us dealing with this right now.
I took my radiator in to be rodded out this AM, and there were 3 guys in
line ahead of me at the radiator shop, just waiting to talk to the service
writer.

Given that my fan was cracked (surprise!), I decided to call Hal Rogers and
see if he could overnight me a new one,  Hal says that the new style has
problems fitting certain aftermarket fan clutches, but should fit the
original clutch.  I guess we are about to find out.
