Thanks for the reply, Bjorn!
I had initially forgotten that washer and had that grinding as a result. Once I got that washer on there, I thought that I was home free until I tightened up the nuts on the air deflector that covers the back of the alternator and the fan would not even turn.
I have some decent cracks in my fan housing and I am worried that this is my problem.
Does anyone know if a good metal worker could fix cracks in the housing?
Thanks for any input,
Rob
