Take it has enough oil in it as it may be the lifters and new oil?
Test the fan direct to battery.

Take the plug off the fan switch. Bridge the 2 terminal. (Unless its a 3pin) if the fan spins its a fan switch you need. If not it will be somethin else. Fuse, broke wire etc

you might have air in the system somewhere which may be blocking the heat to the switch thats what happened on mine
