To run without a fan shroud for the rest of this week till I can replace my motor mounts? Just so that I don't run the risk of hitting the shroud with my fan until then.

I wont hurt a thing if your car doesnt over heat as a result... be careful... temp and oil presure are the two engine killers...

Absolutely.... that, in fact, is their sole purpose in life.... to channel the air... help cool the engine...

It all depends on how much you drive... a few miles prolly would be ok... but you wont know until you try it... therein is the problem... [:-]

why not buy a small chain from lowes bolt one end to a head and another to the frame on the driver's side this will cure the engine movement
