Yeah, take a very good look at the fan. In addition to the dowel
hole, it's quite possible that the surface where the pulley seats has
been worn such that a new pulley won't seat flat there. This is
likely to put the pulley off-center and out of balance.
You can use the pulley and fan from your second hand engine, or I
have all those parts, including the shims washers, and bolts,
available here.
Also, take a real good look at the threads on the bolt. I've found that if
that bolt comes loose (from not being torqued to the 95 to 103 ft lb spec
in Bentley), that the threads can get smoothed out (from being bounced
around), and the bolt won't hold the correct torque. You might want to use your
donor engine parts to fix it.
