I'm at the point where I reinstalled my fan and radiator. I have a stock fan shroud and stock fan. Unfortunately, the fan is rubbing on the shroud at the bottom. On the shroud, the bottom tabs are fully seated on the bottom edge of the radiator and the screw holes at the top line up perfectly with the screw holes on the rad. It isn't just a light scraping, it's enough off that the fan will not turn. I have brand new motor mounts, so it's not from overly compressed mounts. The rear of the engine is as low as the Yoshifab cross member will allow. The bottom of the rad is seated fully into the center bushing and I pushed the rad down as far as it will go before tightening the bolts. Anything else I can check?
And no, I'm not really interested in ditching the fan shroud.
