Correct fan rotation gc8
ho guys
my radiator fans rotate clock wise and generate a lot of air going towards engine. I would have expected the air to head towards radiator.
it is clcckwise rotation from perspective of Looking onto fans from front of car
this sound right guys ?

As explained, the fans cool the water in the Rad by pulling air through it not to actually cool the engine block itself.
