<VV> alternate fans

[Joel McGregor]

Does anyone know how hot the stock fan bearing runs?  It is in the cooling air flow.  The sprag will generate some heat but probably not very much.  Engine oil should be fine but anything very heavy might keep it from locking.

but - if it only overruns briefly and the duty cycle isn't too bad, that might not be an issue.
Ditto the temp - obviously the 'vair motor doesn't run too hot for conventional oil - or prob even atf - a small amount of retained oil might be fine.
