Thanks Bernie - I will take everything apart again this coming weekend. I hadn't considered that he fan bolts may be too long but that may be the problem. As you could see in that picture I posted of the broken red fan(which was not an OEM part) it appears thicker. I hope that is what is binding up the fan. The fan belt does have about 1/2" play when I press on it so I don't think it is too tight. I'll report back.
I did not let the engine run in this condition for more than a few seconds but I guess even that could have damaged the bearing - is that correct? If so is that something that a fellow could fix in his driveway or will I need to get the engine pulled. I'll be thinking about this for the next 4 days until I can work on it again so any insight is appreciated.
Thanks
