    seriously if you have checked every thing people have suggested its back to get it out and start striping it starting with the fan housing

    Unless it's been seriously overheated and the pistons are trying to seize, it won't be anything inside the engine, so as others have suggested, take it out.
    This is the one that had the wrong size fan? It could very well be knackered already - it's not so much that the fan is smaller, it's the big gap it leaves between it and the fan housing.
