Ok, I feel silly for this one, but I just replaced the fan clutch, belts, idler and AC pulley. Fun and easy, and when it idles it is far quieter than when it was running the original pulleys and gates belts. The difference is kind of amazing. However, I went for test drive and got the buzzsaw sound. So I turned around slowly made it home.
Looking at the shroud there is far more clearance for the blades on the top than on the bottom. In fact, when it's idling I can pull back on the radiator a bit and get the blades to touch the shroud and make a noise. I did take the water pump pulley off to, but I assume that can only go back on one way? The shroud can only go one way too it seems.
I'm baffled here, this was a super simple job but something is up.
