[QUOTE=280EZRider;2257219]From your discription, it appears the shop may have forgotten to tighten the fan after removing it to do the head gasket. This would account for the fan w/pully against the radiator. And as Arthur said, the shroud is a possibility as well.[/QUOTE

the bolts were very caked, i don't blame him at this point... It looks like neither of those would need to be removed in order to do the headgasket once i got in there to see....
