 one of the screws that hold the fan extension on, rubbing against the timing

 Hello Folks, I replaced the front crank seal that sits in the timing chain 
cover.It's a bit of a mission as the radiator has to be emptied and the support 
in front of the motor has to be removed to get the fan extension off.Purchased 
a new seal from Rimmers then had my mechanic friend insert it in the cover.Put 
it all back together and to hear a squeal, thought it was the belt so ran the 
motor without it, squeal still there.Took it apart again except left the cover 
on but loosened the fan extension, squeal went away, so not the tensioner.Put 
it back together, still squealed.Took it apart again and removed the cover this 
time had a look and couldn't see any problems, pushed the oil deflector back 
against the cog and put it all together again.It still squeals, it can only be 
the fan extension rubbing on either the deflector or the seal.Any thoughts as 
it's driving me nuts and i'm getting withdrawal symptoms from not driving the 
car.

35th year with the car has just rolled over.** triumphs@autox.team.net **
