Fan hitting the shroud? Hoses melting? Drive over road that's just been paved?

x2; those are good suggestions! I'd guess accessory belt first...but the fan/shroud thing just might be it!

Yeah, I always have bad luck with fans. My runner ate a shroud once, K5 shot a blade threw the hood, honder made the fan come on when the car was off and bit me, dodge cheese grated itself on the rad, and the stang's just fell completely out one day...

Nah, but they've always been out to get me. Remember as a kid I leaned out over my bunk bed and THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK.

But yeah, so now whenever I see some wierd kinda shaving on the engine, my first thought is always WHAT'D MY FAN EAT!?
