I dropped my Bonnie off this morning to get inspected and also to have the heat issues looked at. Lately, the temp guage has been reaching about 230, even after the car'* only been running for 10 minutes. Yesterday, I popped the hood and there is a lot of noise (kinda like a knocking) on the belt side of the motor, down toward the bottom. I know that'* pretty vague, but I don't know a lot about these engines. I also noticed that the fans only kicked on for a few seconds, even though the engine was running at that high of a temp. I'm hoping that it isnt anything too serious.

It'* already in the shop. I know the mechanic, he does all the work on my camaro. I'd rather not wait to get this fixed since I'm trying to sell the Bonnie.
