LH Fan Shroud (Naturally Aspirated and Turbo):
Two different situations relate to the installation of LH fan shrouds:
^
In mid-1989, at approximately the same time as the introduction of the new radiators, a new design LH fan motor of Delco manufacture was
introduced into production. This motor utilizes a fan shroud that is shaped to fit the aluminum core radiators, but because of the different fan
mounting, this shroud cannot supersede the earlier shroud.
^
When an aluminum radiator is installed on a 1979-mid-89 900, the LH fan shroud must always be modified as shown in Figure 2. This applies
both to LH fan shrouds obtained as spare parts (P/ N 83 37 859) as well as the LH fan shrouds originally installed in these cars.
To modify the LH fan shroud (P/N 83 37 859), use a hack saw or cut off wheel to extend the existing notch along the LH side by another 15 mm on each
end (Figure 2).
Check the fit of the fan shroud on the radiator prior to mounting the radiator in the car. Trim as necessary to ensure sufficient clearance with the radiator
tank seam.
