So, I put the new alternator in and install the fan back in it's housing. Fan spins free with no issues.
Then I put it in the shroud and tighten up the strap around the alt stand. When I run the motor it makes a horrid scraping sound and metal shavings are a flying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Why? Help me. KT |

Is it the same fan that was in the housing?
Sometimes a new fan will do this. It freaked me out the first time I saw (and heard) this happen, but apparently others have seen it more often. IF you are SURE everything is installed correctly, run the engine for a few seconds (20 or 30) and the fan will "clearance" the housing. It is probably only interfering a few thousandths and will quiet down. If it does not quiet down after 20 or 30 seconds, you may have bad or very poor bearings in that alternator allowing the fan to float around... I wish you the best of luck. (just my 0.02) |
