The reason is the 12SI alternator fan is too far away from the alt housing, and most likely causing insuffcient alternator cooling as a result. So I am going to reduce the height of the collar bushing between alt fan and bearing. It is currently 3/8" tall...it just can't be the correct fan bushing for a 12SI. I would bet .200"' or so would be plenty.

Oh ok, Do you happen to know how many miles your belt lasted?
