Default bent radiator fins

OK. I just received a new radiator in the mail. The box looks like someone tried to put their fist through it. Luckily the radiator only has some bent fins in one area about the size of a nikel. That shouldn't be a big deal, right? I always hear that you should be careful not to bend the fins when intalling etc.

Just wondering?

I was able to straighten them out with a toothpick.

Thanks

Should be fine unless one of the tubes was damaged. You'll have to fill it though to find out.

You should be fine, but I wouldn't buy from that company again. They should box your merchandise better.
