I was wondering exactly how much play should be in the fan hot and cold. Which makes me wonder more if your baseline is correct.
That is the problem. Without some sort of test appratus, and factory procedure, it's just guessing to determine what is "normal". I am not convinced that observing the fan when shutting off the engine really tells us anything. It may give some gross test of performance (freewheeling ) but whether the fan turns 1 rev or 2 revs at shutoff and being able to actually see what it is doing, and what it really means - that is the difficulty.
