OOOPS....there goes that theory! This flathead fan, 3-BLADES no less, is belt-driven, ain't "geared-up" in the least, and looking closely at the crank and fan pullies, it almost appears that the fan pully is ever so slightly larger in diameter which would effectively slow it down to even LESS than crank speed.
