Don't underestimate the power of a fan

just to show you what kind of power rotating mass has...

i needed to reseal my alternator stand and got a nice surprise when pulling the alt assembly out. looks like my oil cooler holddown spring came loose and got sucked into the fan. must have happened on my way back from the last show. had no clue. the attached pics are the aftermath. not horrible, but that was just a little piece of metal.
