What does the engine temp gauge show? High? Normal? Higher than normal? There's obviously a problem with the fan staying on too long, possibly the engine overheating, or the thermostat for the fan isn't working. The fan may be coming on too late or not shutting off when the engine cools down. Get it fixed. It will be a lot cheaper to fix it than to replace the engine or a warped head. The fan cools the engine down and needs to be on for a few minutes after you've been running it on a hot day with AC on. lauraknopsamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
