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.
