Sorry, gents, but I must ask you. I cannot find the answers myself for I have misplaced my Porsche 917 book somewhere in the excitement during the last mortar attack . . . :happy:
My questions for you concern the top-mounted, horizontally-placed fan that cooled the original Porsche 917 engine.
How did it serve to cool the engine? ("Well, newbie, it moved the hot air from here and the cool air into there . . . .") I know that. It's just that I don't know the specifics.

- In what direction did fan move the air? relative to the car? relative to the engine?
- How much air did the fan move?
- Did the fan alway operate while the engine was on?
- Did the fan system ever fail?
