I'm working on the engine tins while slowly disassembling the engine and now have a question about the fan.
The fan that came off this engine is PN: 021 119 113 I 'think' this is a Bus Type 4 fan per Google. Per PET looks like the 914 Type 4 fan for 2.0L is PN: 021 119 031 AD Can/should this fan be used in the 914 application? What are the differences? Should I source the correct part? No fins are broken. Some bent. Some nicked. Novice opinion is overall condition is good. To clarify purpose, I plan to put this to a 2056 with the D-Jet FI. Since pictures are loved so much, here is one showing the condition of the fan house just after pulling the fan. 1. Note the grime. 2. Note the machining marks from the fan rubbing on the housing. This is also seen on the back of the fan as well. I'm thinking of taking this to a self-service car wash after it sees the business end of a putty knife. It is nasty! I've got hours into cleaning the tins because the inside of most of them were the same. What's your favorite degreaser for this kind of stuff? Thank you! -Sean |

There are a few design detail changes over the years, but I had no problem putting a very late bus Type 4 fan on my ‘74 914 - you won’t have any issues once you’ve found a spacer. I transposed the timing marks from the old one to the new one.
