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.
