If you don't need low speed, you can get rid of the resistor.
In the plug, one wire goes straight to the motor (high speed), and the other wire goes through the resistor.

So if you only want single speed, the resistor can go.

At least if you still have the overheating, you can rule out the fan.

That's fine mate. Nothing should move that much. If it does you've got issues.

yep its a ba/fg fan pretty much just trimmed it top and bottom , cut around the hoses and bolted it to the rad ill use some foam tape between if needed but space is tight so if you have an aluminum rad just check your thickness once I have mounted it i'll post more pics, as I have put my thermo control where the 2 speed plug used to go
