Default engine temp.

i have recently had the engine out for a clutch job, and i had the fan
housing off to claen everthing up since i had the engine out anyway.
everything in the fan housing was hooked up and moving.
during the cleaning i did clean out all the gunk from between the fins. i
even removed the cooler and flushed it with solvent, then blew it out with
air.
with the engine running i have got under the car and pulled on the rod,
and it does decrease air flow, but with it up it blows real strong, and
all the tins are in place.
could air-fuel ratio do this, i know a lean engine runs hotter?
thanks alot
matt
