One of the parts dealers Tech dept recommended I have the fan bushings/bearings checked too. [/COLOR][/COLOR][/U]
I'm not sure why or when the fan made contact with the radiator at some point?

I'm starting to realize now why there is a song called "Mercury Blues".
Thanks All.

The song you need to keep in your mind is "Crazy bout a Mercury". It works for me. There are only the two front motor mounts as far as I recall. Its over 50 years ago to test my memory of when my dad had the front mounts replaced on this 52. As I recall they were so loose that the motor literally rocked from side to side on acceleration and somehow that allowed the fan to contact the fins. . I don't think it is a major job to replace them.
