Anyone got spare fan shims? I put in a gasket and one shim, as I had
taken those off, but it’s in a new case, so all bets are off.
I used new screws and lactate on the shroud attachment, so I doubt it’s
that. Any other suggestions of why I have something rubbing in the shroud
area after my rebuild?
I broke it in for 20 minutes but the rattly scarping noise needs
attention. I didn’t hear or feel anything on the engine stand, but I gotta pull the
shroud off and have a listen with a rubber hose during a short engine run.
I can hear it through the fender cooling slots FAR more loudly than above
the engine, so I know it’s not bearings and such.
Anyone had fan interference issues? Did you have to shim the shroud
itself?
Lacking the VW tool, I eyeballed the front shroud for concentricity, which
always worked for me in the past.
Never had this issue before.
Suggestions welcome!
Does the bottom rear? of the shroud clear the oil pump studs? Or the oil
pump parts themselves? Just asking, as I've had the stud problem before.
