Having an issue with the fan rubbing the shroud. As soon as I figure out why, and can fix it, I'll be on the road. Goal is Saturday, 11/12/11.... fingers crossed.....

I'm thinking after doing a bunch of reading that its a combination of mismatched parts, improper assembly. I'm gonna pull the backing plate, re shim the fan and go from there. Fan was rubbing even without strap installed, but am gonna keep that in mind when it goes back together.

Took it for a quick test spin tonight. Need to adjust the timing a bit and get a new clutch cable and will be all good.
