Trying to find out if my fan blades are positioned more forward into the shroud than other VXs.
Kirk, how's this compare to yours?
Anybody have any comparisons, thoughts or input??
****************************
These two shots are straight on of the shroud & fan blades.
It seems like the base of the blades are actually further rearward than the tips of the blades
From passenger side, can see the one blade sticking out:
Dave's holding a ruler flush against the blades so it's easier to see how far they clear the shroud
Distance/gap is about 1/2", if that.
I know it's a totally different engine, etc...and it could be apples to oranges, but on both the GX and Dave's FJ, the blades stick out at least 1 1/4" outside the shroud:
