The damaged fan case is on the left, note the stiffening ring around the case, this is part of what makes this CF6-6D engine a CF6-6K. The new fan case is on the right - the stiffening ring will be transferred to the new case.

These N1 Fan Blades generate over 75% of the 40,000lbs of thrust in this CF6-6K. There are 38 blades and you can see in the photos that each is marked with a blade number (1 to 38) and a weight class (used in balancing the fan).
