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 |

Trekkor,
just wondering.....is the metal shim in place behind the fan, on the crankshaft? I'm not sure if the fan would touch the housing when there's no shim in place. If you're gonna pull the housing out again, take a close look at the fan opening area and look for the scuffed surface and go from there.....if the back of the housing is rubbing, maybe it's the missing shim that should have been been there....if the markings are on the front of the fan housing, umm dowel pin on the fan hub? dowel pin on the housing to case? hope this helps.... jerry |
