The fan points directly at the middle two cylinders. It does a good job of moving alot of air (rated at 400cfm 4amp) over the hottest part of the engine.

The other concern I initially had was that an extra 4 amp electrical draw at idle might drain the battery but that hasn't been a problem either. Alternator seems to keep up fine and the fan doesn't kick on very often or for very long.

If the fan doesn't kick in very often or for very long then it's probably not needed, but I still like your thinking, it's a cool idea
Well, I wouldn't recommend all the effort and energy in a rural or suburban setting but in NYC, where the occasional summer traffic jam is inevitable, it's worked out quite well. Though I usually do a pretty good job of making my way through traffic

I've often thought how great it would be to have a cooling fan on my Zs here in Florida especially during the summer when it's 95+ degrees F and I'm stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic ... and my Zs' oil temperature is approaching 250 degrees F.
