Is my radiator fan the right way around?

Someone at a show told me it was. I just want to make sure before I take the radiator off ect. L

Thanks in advance

The smooth side that says engine side goes towards the engine. Yes yours is wrong. And it seems to be missing a spacer or two.

Pic isn't too clear and there's dirt on the fan...the very center circle of yellow on the fan that you can see from this angle should be smooth plastic. One side of the central area is smooth and the other has cutouts with hard edges.

Hope this description is helpful...best I could describe it.

Does the fan push air through the radiator or suck it through?

Push. And it will do whichever way round it is. But when fitted correctly it works better.
