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?

Okay here is what happened! The powder coating was thick enough to cause the fan to rub on the aluminum housing making me think the engine was the problem. When I took the fan off, the engine turned freely, even with the plugs back in. I reassembled everything and put a little sideways pressure on the housing so the fan is more centered, it is not perfect but pretty close. The thickness of the powder coating means there is less clearance , if it does rub I'm sure it will wear off quickly. i am glad I didn't come onto that little bolt in the center to hard, no harm done but a good wake up call for me to pay closer attention!! Thanks to all who gave their 2 cents worth.
