I was over heating just a little bit today, it would go half way past the 210 line and dip back down. I normally run dead on at 210 not a mm over and it's been cooling down here so I was surprised.
I noticed my fan clutch was Very tight just after driving. I had to really push it to turn, there was no giving it a good push and allowing it to make a full revolution it would just stop. I know as it gets hot it should engage more but is that usual for it to be so tight?
I thought I saw a little smoke and smelled something burning very faintly too. I was thinking the fan is stuck engage and not free spinning and cooking my belt and causing excess engine stress, I dunno.
