Great thread you've got going - good work and excellent pictures, and really inspiring in respect to our own two Ferrets.
Back to my title - watch out for stuff like that bit of sheet-something that looks like it got sucked into the fan in your video. For everybody: keep rags and loose tools out of the way i.e. clear the decks before starting any motor you're working on (with respect to fans and belts). Heard of a guy who was wiping an oil leak on his motor with a bit of rag and an end got sucked into the fan pulling his hand in and well he don't pick the guitar so well these days - has to use his teeth!

Alex,
Very good point. That fan really is quite powerfull. When your standing near it when the engine is reved up you can feel air rushing past you. It really must be quite efective when the engine hatch is on.
That piece of material that came off the top of the radiator was a piece of felt. It was glued on top of the rad. The fan puled it off. It didn't pass through the fan, got lodged down below just before hitting the blades.
Cheers
