So now I need to decide wether I want to fix all this crap or send it back. It seems to me the only way for me to fix the radiator cap hitting the bracket would be to drill new holes in the mounting brackets on the side of the radiator, thus lowering the rad about an 2". This would not be a bad thing as it would put the fan more in the center of the radiator. But then I would have 6 unused holes in my brand new $300 radiator.
Its also easy enough to just turn the radiator upside down and scrape out all the crap inside the next preventing it from going down inside the radiator. The question is should I have to do all this.
. At the very least I think I should post this crap on as many forums so everybody can be for warned about Champion Radiator..........
