champion "direct fit" aluminum radiator
the radiator is beautiful to look at and seems to be of high quality. it ISNT direct fit but its close. the lower radiator isolators need to be trimmed with a razor as do the upper rubber isolators. other than that its great. its cooling very well.as long as you know you need to trim the rubber it goes In easy. I would suggest this if you need a replacement.

Re: champion "direct fit" aluminum radiator
I'm currently on my second Champion/Eagle/whatever rebrand radiator right now and will be replacing it for my third. It does look great and works great but after a few years they spring a pin point leak that can't be repaired and requires replacing.

Re: champion "direct fit" aluminum radiator
Both of them were at the connection of one of the side tanks and a cooling tube. It started out as a slow leak and develops into a pressurized pinpoint stream because I would think "meh, its' only loosing a few drops while its sitting. I'd rather leave it than drop $200 on it again." Next thing I know it's spraying my drivebelts once it's pressurized.

I hope mine lasts a while. Its stupid to have so much trouble from something as simple as a radiator
