Hello, I had my 92SC in my garage over the winter. Over the last couple of days i changed the oil(5W-30) checked the coolant lvls, chainged the rear tires and got her ready to go. This morning i went out and started her up. I let it idle for about 15 minutes waiting for the rad fan to kick on, then i was gonna do the idle re-learn procedure. Well after about 15-20 minutes the rad fan still hadnt kicked on, and i began hearing a noise from the engine. it kinda sounded like a clicking, but more like flapping noise(something making contact with something else). Then the motor died! The first thing i thought was that the engine siezed, so i got in and tried to start it and it turned over and started. I shut it down immediatley after it turned over. I did notice what looked like quite a bit of moisture comming from the tail pipes(theres puddles of water)(doesnt smell or look like coolant in it). I had just ordered SCP's Head gasket repair kit and SC tune up special and was gonna do that when the parts arrive.
So other that draining the oil back out and checking it, what else should i check or look for, and if anyone has thoughts/opinions about what might have happened please respond and let me know. thanx everyone
