The fan was added on all catalyst versions from 1987 on.
The fan was operated by a thermostat switch, switching temperature was 118°C / 245°F.

I always recommend to check the ignition timing both on idle and overall rpm band if it's correct and in spec. I personally experienced some years ago what heat a stucked advance timing could produce!
The 118°C/245°F switching temperature is a good to get an idea when oil temperature is getting too high! So the desired oil temp should be lower / not higher than this. Under all operating conditions!
