OK, I have messed up somehow, I took all the engine tin off, the fan and large fan shroud etc., had stuff powder coated and cleaned. Started putting things back on last night and the fan is not centered in it's hole, it is touching on the alternator side. What has happened?

For future reference, I wouldn't use that bolt to turn the engine over when the plugs are in, I think you could over-torque it if you do. Use one of the flywheel bolts, or just grab the flywheel with your hands. Actually, I wouldn't turn the engine over with that bolt even with the plugs out, that bolt is pretty small. The reason the engine might not be turning over now is because you might have tightened that little bolt so much that all the endplay has been taken up in the crank. Just a thought.
