Has anyone with a 4 core radiator run into problems with the fan shroud fitting correctly without causing interference with the fan blades?
I got a fan shroud and had to cut almost all of the top of it off to clear the blades. I was told since the 4 core is almost twice as think as a standard radiator that it moves the radiator closer to the fan which cause the shroud not to fit correct.
Has anyone had this trouble? Is there a special shroud for thicker radiators?
