<VV> Top Cover Gaskets/ Lose Screws

[Mike McCrae]

...don't think my high performance guys would like to see washers under the 
fan.....meaning that I had installed the bearing incorrectly....
but I do get your meaning.....quality and accurate assembly by the book the 
first time around  is the "no brainer".

Mike, you're not gonna like what I have say...


I've done the same thing Smitty has done.  No leaks.  And no
reversion either.

Did you ever consider correcting that fan-to-shroud gap simply by
putting washers under the fan to space it back up to where it's
supposed to be?




I mean hey, it's a no-brainer.    C'mon...
