I think it is wise to put bluing on the pump shaft taper and inside of the new fan's taper. Turn the fan on the shaft a few revolutions and then evaluate the fit. If the fit of the taper is bad, return the fan and let the seller know.


Is the taper in the fan "finish machined" or is it in an "as cast" condition? It should be machined for accuracy, not left as cast!
