Greetings all-

The brick has new belts, hoses, themostat, and H2O pump. It cools down at higher rpm, but almost hits red when idling. I went thru the archives and some have noted to check the fan clutch thing; it mentions to check the resistence when engine is cold and then hot. What exactly am I checking for? What should a good fan clutch feel like under those conditions?

Any other tips/advise appreciated.

Thanks-

Joe HC
