laurel I have a Nissan Laurel 1988 Model 2.4SGX having a 6 cylinder engine recently had the engine overhaul done.

Earlier the radiator was damaged with the engine fan touching the radiator and had to replace a new one. Again today I faced the same problem and the radiator got damaged. What would be the reason for the fan touching the radiator.

Today , I was trying to start my car and not starting, once it started tit was missing and black smoke coming out. I raised the throttle for some tine and at this time the fan touched the radaiotor and damaged the radiator.
