    Noticed today that there is very little clearance between the fan blade hose. It actually looks like if has touched it a bit...figure this not good. Is my hose bulging out more than normal?

    The clearances there are particularly tight. It amplifies when you have a blower. Best to use ties and plastic looming when attempting to avoid contact and stuff. That reminds me I have to loom up a section of radiator hose that ocassionally contacts the oil filter drain tube.
