Can someone with a M119 check something for me?

I thought that as the fan clutch gets hot, it engages and turns faster, which means when the engine is turned off, it should be hard to turn by hand.

I changed the fan clutch and the car still got hot, so I returned the clutch and got another one and put it in. The car is staying cooler, but will still get to 100 if I stop at a light. When I got home from the test drive, I looked at the fan and I could still turn it by hand with the engine off.

What's it supposed to feel like? The only think I haven't changed is the expansion tank and cap and the water pump.

BTW, the car has 134,xxx miles.

Thanks,

Dcraig
