what about the broken ones that are hidden on the non pictured area? |

I see a lot of stuff from that seller, the buy it now price or opening bid is usually way to high for the condition of the item. It appears to be stuff listed by Auto Atlanta. Can anyone confirm or deny who the seller is?

You have got to be kidding a few missing blades?? I wouldn't put that on an engine I was trying to blow up!
Reminds me. I have a pre-rusted battery tray I need to get rid of. Was going to throw away the dust, but maybe I should list it on ebay. |

Yes I saw it. Some Knuckle is selling it for the markings hoping some racer will buy it who actually would break out blades to save horsepower!!!
You know how it goes. At least the thing comes in pieces so you can unbolt the blade array and replace it with a good one!!! |

I always thought that this seller was Auto Atlanta, but maybe not from the Dr.'s comments. I'm sure his sign-in name is not helping Auto Atlanta's business if that is the case as most of his stuff looks questionable like this cooling fan.

What a rip off! I would be ashamed to give that away. Looks like a seller on ebay that I will be steering clear of.

Jeez, I been looking for one like that! I am short of cash, but maybe he'll take a trade. I have a tire that's only flat on one side, so 80% of the tire is fine.

Lional works for George, ( i think) I needed a part for a heater defrost lever he had a POS one that had the part I wanted. I bought it, ( cheep) they sent me one without that part. I emailed him he sent a good one free of charge. I seems that what he sells are the bottom of Georges stock,last place I would use. Dave |

I'm sure his sign-in name is not helping Auto Atlanta's business if that is the case as most of his stuff looks questionable like this cooling fan. I'm guessing your tongue is in your cheek, as it's unmistakably AA as stated in the ad. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised the Dr would make a comment to mislead people. "Knuckle." Really Dr? You said "the Knuckle." Was that your idea of funny? Dang it, every time I tell myself I'm going to stay out of it, he pulls this crap again and my tongue-biting discipline caves. I just don't understand why he isn't embarrassed about an ad like this. Who calls a fan like this "nice" and feels good about themselves? I sure as hell wouldn't put my name on that ad. Yet this is typical of AA ads. I've come to expect this from AA now and cannot trust them. Sad. |

The TDC thats marked opposite the factory marks isn't exactly 180* from true TDC.. The index marks can't be right, even if they were you could not see them when doing any timing or valve adjustment procedures..
The position where the blades are missing from aren't symmetrical enough for this fan even to be used for a 12 blade race fan... It needs to be put in the garbage and the person who indexed it, or even thinks it can be used needs to be slapped... So... He states that all those impeller blades missing doesn't impact cooling, but how about dynamic balance?? One impeller blade is generally worth 2 grams of imbalance... What about having 3 missing in a row? classic... freakin classic... |

I emailed him he sent a good one free of charge. Maybe I misunderstood, Dave, but if you bought an item, then that item showed up missing a part meaning you had to contact the seller to get you the missing part, why do you feel like he sent you one "free of charge"? |
