Gilly - I've turned the right fan by hand and the left one moves with it perfectly, so I think my fans may be ok. Whats a sign of a bad thermostat?
Also, any more tips on what the drain plug on the block looks like? There are a few plugs, NPT style plugs, but they look like oil ports
Thanks!
P.S. Ockman - if getting the belly pan off is a challenge, I might reconsider wrenching on your car
