You should know by now that the price of admission is just a wee bit of ridicule from onehundred80.

He's burned me so many times I have no hair left anywhere on my body

You'll grow to love him just like the rest of us have.
He DOES know more s**t about these cars than almost anyone else, and has an encyclopedic memory.
Never questioned his knowledge, I'm just documenting what's going on and trying to write up to have an explanation out there for any one else that seems to run into this issue.
I've gotten people's knowledge on what could be wrong but no fixes. It's frustrating to see people poke fun rather than try and explain a better solution. I did receive a phonecall from AMX who was very helpful in diagnosing my issue which I do appreciate.
We've decided to hold of on liquid steel / jb welding or anything and are waiting for the new blower to inspect it's shaft and then probably use that one instead and hold onto the old one for parts.
I wasn't expecting some one to come in and solve my problems nor do I believe it was owed to me, but the trolling on a diagnostics thread is immature at best, and hopefully you can see why I'm frustrated.
