i feel like a dumb ass, but do you really have to pull heat exchangers to get the fan shroud off? seems like i've been able do it without pulling them before but i just cannot get it to clear those bottom studs.

You don't. I know this because I've taken the fan shroud off without removing the HXes, and if
my wife and I can do it, anyone can do it. I thought I had more enlightening pictures of the situation but don't. Sorry.

How weird I also disassembled an engine today, a type1 that was ruined and filled with water. STILL had water in it from 5 years ago! Everything looks ok besides the lifters and pistons.
