Sounds like it is hitting the shroud due to the torque of the engine. Ya might want to check your motor mounts.

I got the new clutch today and it a lot bigger than the old one. I also got the shroud to stop hititng the fan! But the shaft is shorter on the new clutch so i'm in need of a spacer. Its not that much shorter, but short enough where it doesnt go half in half out. I'll post some pics later. Reroute that hose Soaring?

re-route which hoses bro? They are both on the outside of the shroud as you can see.

hahaha, the clear overflow hose silly. The one you said you were going to put through the bracket or am I just thinking you said that?

Oh, THAT hose. Yeah I re-routed it today because I liked the way you routed yours. you can see the spillage of fluid where I took off the hose from the rad.

I just spent a few minutes cleaning up the fluid and repainting the area. I did notice that my clear plastic hose has started to harden though. I guess we will have to go with a real rubber hose in the future, huh?

Yea my hose is kinda turning colors. It's just some clear hose from Menards. I bought a lot of it so if it ever hardens I can just replace it quick. I like the clear so I know that my overflow isnt clogged or something. Thanks for all the help.
