I've been having a chronic overheating problem, and have ruled out everything but the fan. I think I may have put it in backwards. Which way is it supposed to blow? Towards the radiator?

Front to rear. Whether it pushes air into the radiator or sucks it through, depends on whether it's in front of or behind the rad.

Nevermind. Answered my own question. It's supposed to blow away from the radiator.
