I’m not risking driving the car obviously, but I managed to pull some strings today and it’ll be checked in on Monday. Worst case scenario is that it’s a warped head and I can deal with that. The fans will be first to be dealt with and we’ll see where to go from there. At the moment the fan was never connected to a relay or thermal sensor (bullshit job) and go to some crap-ass Ford part in my fusebox. > [@So the plan is](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-the-plan-is/18185/86): > > i remember driving my car home one night with the heat full blast to prevent the car from overheating (it worked!).

Yeah I’ve previously had a chance to speak with him. I ended up going with my tow truck guy’s buddy, and he’s giving me a solid deal (same rate as the tow guy) and he’s been around for 32 years and knows 240s and their SRs pretty good…for a rebuild it’d be about $1200 he said max, plus he got me another really good deal on the tow (ajax - kennedy for $150) Anyways, by Monday she’ll be on the way to the shop _crosses his fingers_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-help-sr20-overheating/118211)._
