I have two original spec pusher fans on my Kirkham. They look great but I never use them.

Pick up a piece of debris or a rock, etc., thru the nose, have them hit a spinning fan blade and you can have a real hazard to your radiator or even your car's body. I have seen it happen. Were I to do it over, I would leave them off and just run a high quality 16" Spal high volume puller. Even without the hazard, more is just overkill.

My .02 cents worth.
