Fan shroud injector holes too big?

How much gap is acceptable?
This seems like too much to me.
Any ideas on how to fix without ordering another shroud welcome.

You could try cutting a high temp rubber grommet to fill the gap.

Sometimes the simple solution is the best.
Thanks Henry

Where did you buy that aftermarket shroud?

I think that's where the problem is.

Factory shrouds had large cutouts like that so the shroud can be installed with the injectors in place. When I cut them out, much tighter, injectors must be installed after shroud is in place. Just my observation. I wouldn’t be concerned.

Yes, Damon explained this to me as well, and I found a thread showing a 73S shroud with the larger injector openings from the factory in post #6 here:

I will still probably use some high-temp grommets to seal things up

Do I see a modern injector going into a MFI hole adapter?
