    Hasn’t been messed with in the last 1 1/2 years. But I can neither confirm or deny, the jiggle valve is at 6 o’clock.

    all i can suggest is changing coolant out, and bleed it well with a coolant burp bucket. if no change it could be the water pump

    Thank you.

    Ever seen an OEM pump go bad in 1 1/2?
    That’s what I had done back then (TB, pump, thermostat & hoses)

    Edit: years

    Well I purchased it before all these reports of issues.

    Originally bought it because I thought it will be a upgrade over oem plus it looks nice and gives a little better cooling.

    To answer the question you are probably trying to get at, yes I brought it for more looks over function. Yes you get better cooling, no I probably will never need that on a stock 5vzfe in the bay

    Nope i never have had heat issues, i wanted to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. My thought was i will have the oem one out so might as well out something new in while im at it .

    Not really seen a metal bladed one go bad. Honestly I bet you have a blockage somewhere. Likely radiator

    Only reason I’d consider the champion an upgrade is the size.. run a tighter skid with it. But he’s got an stunner, he has a smaller radiator as it is

    I think its more of a form over function. Im not looking to cool better. Stock cooling is just fine and im sure will always be just fine.
