if it got hot enough to melt your blades, it probably messed up something inside the fan motor too. id replace both. and if your planning on getting upgraded fans down the line, might as well do it now. spahl fan's are a really good name.

according to my gauges my oil temp was around 240 f. the fan still works it just melted so it smacks into the shroud. i could file it or sand it temporarily but i was doing maybe 130 so i guess it just got super hot because i didnt have it on.

Oh I thougt you meant you couln't find ANY.

Well that doesn't really matter. You can get another OEM fan really easily, or replace it with one of those fans. Entirely up to you.
