As I quoted in the previous thread, that was exactly the experience I had with my fan replacement...However, there was no other needless expenses like cleaning radiator etc. Mine was done in a cool month and I didn't experience any overheating until May, several months later when the temps in Moab was 104 degrees. It was a long day with the engine running much hotter than I was comfortable with nursing it along. I self diagnosed the backwards fan only because I fly RC planes and know that if a prop is installed backwards, you lose probably about half the air flow generated by the prop. The garage did reimburse me for the labor to re-install the fan properly at a garage in WY.
