That makes sense. To be honest, I didn't find it very difficult to remove the fan and shroud and wondered what all the fuss was about. I mean, I wouldn't mind the 2-piece shroud if it made things even easier, but probably not worth the effort at this point.


I hadn't considered that a lot of the complaints were probably from folks with one more cylinder to deal with.
