Tighten it to the proper torque when the engine stops the fan will loosen and eventually into radiator

Hi there. I posted this yesterday on the E21 digest but
got no response. Apologies if you see this twice.

I'm going to install a fan blade/fan clutch assembly in my
323i (eta bottom end) this weekend. I have borrowed a 32mm
wrench. The nut on the fan clutch is reverse threaded, so
my plan is just to get the nut as tight as I can and let
the engine rotation do the rest.

Am I missing something? Is there any trick to this? Since
the downside here is a spinning fan hitting my hoses and
radiator, I figured I'd ask the board.

Thanks for any insight.
