I have a champion radiator that I just installed today
engine temp reads normal but radiator feels very hot on top and ice cold on the bottom fan also feels like is blowing hot air out of the top driver side some heat on the pass side and no heat at the bottom?? Engine does not look like its overheating
but only had it idling for about 15 minutes. How do these radiator circulate water?
Sounds normal to me. If the top is hot and the bottom is cold then the heat is being removed. Hard to tell without using a IR to spot issues but it sounds fine to me.
fan also feels like is blowing hot air out of the top driver side
Electric fan?
Blowing warm air out through the grill? If it's blowing forward through the radiator, it's pushing warm air through the core. You want the fan pulling cool fresh outside air in through the grill.
