somethings not right here

Some rules of thumb about shrouds:
Around 1" clearance shroud I.D. to fan O.D., around 1" clearance radiator to face of fan. Too close or too far away is not good. Fan should be 1/2 in, and 1/2 out, of the shroud. Shroud needs to be sealed to the radiator (insulation weatherstripping works pretty well). Here is a decent article: Flex-a-Lite Automotive The Perfect Fan Shroud Position / Flex-a-lite Blog
