The big fan turns very easily, the wind blows it when I have the hood open if that gives you an idea of how easy it spins. The electric fan runs when the AC's on and when the engine gets hot. It's not overheating, it doesn't even come close to the danger zone, but I don't like this much fluxuation and I don't like it to climb that high at idle.

I have no idea about the lifters. The engine runs great, and it doesn't click all the time, and it's only at idle speed and anywhere between to 1500 from time to time... So I don't know.

Are fan clutches expensive? Is it a job I can do myself or w/ someone else that is mechanically inclined?

Thanks for the help.
