So, will removing the spring lock it up? I've actually never played with the spring on a fan clutch to have hands on experience. But if that locked them in the on position, seems like someone would have stated removing the spring will fix all your cooling problems?

I'm thinking the valving needs to be controlled by the thermal spring, because acceleration and deceleration is going to open and close the valve uncontrolled.

I have seen someone weld the center shaft solid to the fan on a stock car, that didn't work out well...... Having the fan locked isn't going to work out well for many reasons.
