But I had just started it and was two blocks from work in 5 degrees...engine wasn't warm at all. Popped the hood, moved the fan by hand and it's hitting something...like the fan shroud. Looks like the entire engine moved forward and down, forcing the fan into the shroud. It's at the back of Home Depot now and will stay there until someone makes me an offer. Start the bidding at $5K.
