..along with the fan shroud.

only going around 35-40

just installed new bbk along with zxtrans kit / new belt and 9:1 gears on af16-swaped spree

still on first tank / breaking in and haven't given it WOT

if I remember correctly I heard a fast high pitched sound or maybe a ringing noise right before it happened but I could be wrong


has this happened to anyone before or know what may of caused this?


thanks in advance

Hmm I've heard of the aftermarket fans doing this but not the stockers. Maybe one of your bolts came loose I'm sure that could make for a pretty short lived fan. I would check for a striped hole or something.

ah yeah

i was missing a bolt on the other piece of fan shroud - not the one that got torn up along with the cooling fan / encases the coolfan + most of the bbk

so i suspect it found its way to the fan somehow

bummer

i'll do some inspection and make sure it isn't still around

new oem part shroud + fan on order from partzilla

also i imagine maybe a bolt from the main fan shroud may of rattled out

plenty of vibration with the higher rpms on this new bbk most likely
