OK. Let me try to give you as much info as I can in as compact form as I can. The P.O. of my cherokee had installed dual e fans and removed the clutch fan. I had some over heating issues in rare cases so I took it in to my mechanic to have the fans wired to the stock thermostat relay. After I got the xj back, it was dieseling so I took it back in. It was apparently a fuse to the emergency shut off that was bridged by accident. When the mechanic was doing a test run one of the e fan motors burned out so I told him to install everything back to stock. (oem fan, clutch and efan)
NOW THE ISSUE: He has returned it to "stock" or is trying to at least, but the fan blades (out of a 97) hit the ac compressor...:banghead:We don't know how since it should be back to stock. So in order to clear the compressor and an ac line he had to add a 1" spacer (anything less is still too close, anything more hits the radiator) Well it clears but now it hits the top radiator bracket (not the radiator itself) we tried different compressor too but nothing clears properly. Motor mounts are good, radiator is stock. It has had front end damage but nothing major and has been repaired.
Any tips, ideas or whatever is appreciated!
