My 55 was equipped with a 5 blade cooling fan that has offset blades. This doesn't appear to be original but it is going back on for now.
My question is, should this be oriented in a certain position to help balance or will it matter?
Does anyone know the reason for offset blades other than balance?

I had similar Blades on my Falcon. They are designed to give hi flow on idle but flatten out at higher revs. Are your Blades plastic on metal.
Shouldn't matter how you fit them they are balanced by design.
Cheers
