I was able to dig up a fan from my "parts" selection at my dads house. I found a 7 blade 18 inch fan. I mocked it up and it clears a lot better.
I will reuse the bigger fan later when I get a bigger radiator.
The stock fan was a solid 4 blade (18")
I figured I'd upgrade a little while I am at it. If I need to I can always go back to the stock fan.
In the mean time I'll be swapping out lifters this week (I am paranoid) and hopefully have the motor broken in by next week. Somehow my need to go to work all the time gets in the way of this stuff!
