Double check and make sure the shroud tin as well as any other tin is NOT directly touching the case with the sharp edges!!! BTDT, learned too late!

Are there still some floating around out there with misaligned bearing oil passages too? Mine had the snout issue and the oil passage problem, but that was quite awhile back.
