So replaced my leaking radiator that only had 4400 miles on it. Bottom tank had a crack in it. So ordered a new one from US radiators. Looked grate. So bought a new fan shroud from Classic industries. put the new radiator in and got the shroud out and what a pace of junk it was. Not Composit material just flimsy plastic. But decided to use it. Don't have a lot of clearance at bottom of radiator and fan but it worked fined with the other radiator. Put fluids in and took it for a drive. Every ting seemed good. Then yesterday took the car to town and topped off the fuel tank. Just before getting home hear a noise and not good. Pulled to the shoulder of the road and yes fluid leaking from radiator at bottom four cores and fan shroud chewed up at top. I think the fan sucked that cheap shroud to it and cause pieces to go between the fan and radiator at bottom. Thus, eating into the radiator core. So, 800-dollar radiator shot. 145 shrouds shot. I don't think my water pump has any slack in it. Not enough room to move the fan back towards the motor due to that classic air compressor won't let me do that. I have a half an inch space from fan to the compressor clutch. Can I go with a quarter of an inch clearance or do I need to keep the half inch there. If I could do that it would give me a little more room for fan to clear better at the radiator core at bottom. Just don't understand what went wrong but believe that cheap shroud was so cheaply made that it pulled too the fan and took plastic chunks down between the fan and radiator core. Thanks, classic industries and OER for costing me to spend a lot more money that I did not need to spend. Any ideas would be appreciated.
