overheating

Fuel · 04-14-2006, 03:12 AM

Alright i just got my car back from the shop after it had a used engine put in. It gets kind of hot, well i think it gets hot, the gauge reads about half way or alittle below 3/4. That seems hot to me. I dont know if it is or not. This is after the mechanic made the little fan run all the time, other wise it would get hotter. I thought that was for the air conditioning? I am really confused on whats going on so any and all help would be appreciated.

Also next time i get paid i want to replace the clutch fan with a race flex fan and a thermostat that opens at 170* or 180*.
