Need a little advice from the experts!
Took my rig in to have exhaust put in, and I noticed that the clearance between rear poly tank and brake lines is a little less than the recommended 3 inches (see pics, they have an inch or less clearance).
Is this something to worry about? Can I wrap the exhaust with some heat shield and be ok or do I need to have the exhaust re-routed?
Also, my serp is pretty tight to my electric rad fan (see pic).
First question is am I right that is too tight? I'm thinking body flex or engine torque will put the h20 pump pully bolts right into that fan...
Second question is how much clearance do i need with an electric fan? My options at this point are to a) see if I can press the water pump flange back on the shaft a bit (there's about 3/4" between the back of the flange and the water pump body); b) relocate the bottom radiator mounts (tops are already pushed back about as far as they can go) - but either of these methods only gains me 1/2 - 3/4".
If I need more than 3/4" clearance, I'm going to have to get a new water pump and redo the serp - something I'm not too excited about doing...
Thanks for the advice.
