Re: Overheating- all of a sudden

The engine bay has no debris.

The fan is hot all the time to prevent overheating, like when you turn it off after driving. When you stop the water from circulating the temp climbs. Instead of blowing water through the relief valve it just continues to cool as required, until the water in the radiator is at a safe temp. I have noticed that the folks here on the forum are about 2-1 against the fan running after the motor is shut down. I don't mind- I like it the way it is
Will check back in over the weekend. It kills me to let it sit, even for a couple of days. This is my daily driver.
Thanks,
