Assembling my 2056 frankenmotor. Went to put the fan on and it seems to rub the housing on part of the rotation. Engine is a rebuilt 2.0 that was running and pulled for a 6 conversion and sold to me as a longblock, no accessories, tine, carbs, etc. I bought 2.0 tins, housing, fan, alt, distributor, and accessories. I have smoothed up the back edge of the fan, and cleaned up the mold lines off the housing and that helped, but don't have any roughness left and it still rubs a little. I'm wondering if i'm missing a thin washer or shim that goes between the fan and the flange...

Ok, I see the spacer and a washer on the AA Hard parts diagram, Spacer is $20 and washer is $1 from AA, buying parts a few small pieces at a time is $$$. I guess I need the spacer for sure, not sure why I would also need a washer. My fan fully seats without the spacer or washer, dowel pin aligns the fan properly, but it rubs the housing in one area as it sits too close to the engine. Thanks for the help Cabinet maker!
