fan blades striking shroud.



Just installed a new oem fan motor with new six blade fan attached.
an all metal modine radiator was installed as well, the plastic one
was junk , cracked its snout, leaked etc, ie the usual.
The model was a tight fit. particularly top  ridge where it presses against
the 
seam on the underside of the drivers fender.  Then, as I was spinning the
fan by hand to check clearance with the shroud  it rubbed against the left
side of the shroud.  Ive been through a  similar problem  installing a
blower motor in a volvo AC system, and had to dremel   grind  the blades
and shim
the armature shaft  to obtain clearance.  Is this going to be the fix for this
problem.?  Don't recall whether  I had  this problem prior to  the
installation,.
Can't imagine  my tugging and pushing the radiator/fan into place would
have caused  this .  Any ideas?  Thanks , Mike.
