[QUOTE="ktteoh, post: 8464, member: 560"] folks, my local mechanic (without checking with me) did this.he used a screwdriver to bend the bimetallic strip on the fan clutch outward (towards the radiator) - i think this makes the clutch engage earlier?the temp gauge is now about two notches below mid-point. however the engine roar is louder - due to tighter fan engagement?my questions:1. how do i know if the clutch still behaves normally during cold - is it supposed to free wheeling only when the engine is cold from overnight stop?2. any reliability issue?3. anyone thought of this before?
