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?

I may have overtightened that bolt! Can I just back it off and all will be well or have I damaged something? What do you mean by end play in the crank? I'm feeling kinda dumb right now but if there are some who need to poke me in the eye with gentle ribbing I can take it! Thanks for responding.

Ian

I think you're fine.

I don't see how that bolt could effect crank end play.

I turn my engine both directions with that bolt. No problems.
