I have a few spare fan shims, because the engines I've taken apart 
always have 2, but I generally don't need any when I put them back 
together.

Bob's right to suggest looking for interference with the oil pump. 
There's plenty of room for a stock oil pump, even the late 26 mm 
dished cam version, but the aftermarket 25 mm HD pumps stick out 
farther and will push the bottom of the fan housing outwards and 
cause problems. They can be made to work with careful clearancing, 
but there needs to be SOME clearance there.
