Who is using an oil deflector under the intake?

I don't think this is in reference to a fancy, "high-end" care, though. If you're looking for original and pretty, you're going to pay for it no matter what. You can pay in horsepower or money. If you want more power from the same engine, use an electric fan. If you're going for the highest power build possible, you've got no problem spending some extra Benjamins for that horsepower and buying a nice new fan. If you are going for a more economical build, you can do what I suggested with the ford fans. There's options no matter what.



There's a very good episode of Engine Masters on Motortrend about this. Really blew me away the numbers they were losing with the crank fans.
It's not that hard to install an electric fan once you know what you need, either.


Read what Rusty wrote. Tested it MYSELF and found at best, 7-8 HP. At best. And when you can't control the engine temp you lose way more power than that.
