    Seems to be an inbetween size I sort of remember the GE/blue ones being a LOT smaller. (don't have one handy to measure I gave it away awhile back to a bud in need)

    Very welcome! Eventually people will learn if they don't know to just STFU, until then we try to keep a close watch on Tech to stop the stupid spreading.

    Ran a Permacool T Stat here for years with no issues at all, upgraded to the Mocal one last build as it was inbuilt -10 male fittings.

    all mk3 alternators the same?

    Very odd, it "looks" like a GTE Alternator other than the distance across the mounts. Sorry I don't have one here to measure up, I know the later Cruiser alts were bigger as I used one on my 7M. (FJ80 from memory, you just swap the GTE pulley on and grab a patch lead from Ashdown or splice...

    Supra Turbo fan clutch questions

    Dunno, can't see them using a single clutch across the range unless it's only an internal change, as you noted the 7 and 10 blade fans are very different load wise.

    oil spitting out of BOV

    Blowby will ALWAYS end up in the crankcase>PCV>Intake....... If the PCV system can't handle the volume produced it will either push the dipstick out on boost or in bad cases push the front or rear main seals out.

    Supra Turbo fan clutch questions

    GTE is orange and MUCH bigger in the alloy section than the Blue GE one. I bought one from Toyota a couple of years back and it still had the large body.
