isnt it funny how the alt. fan always breaks off and goes though the hood.. its an enigma. Stands to reason that there isnt a peticular angle that the fan will choose before breaking apart.. you guys are lucky that the fan shrapnel didnt instead go into flying though into the timing belt housing. That would be uhmm... bad.
