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.
