Oil cooler fins bent
Hey guys my oil cooler is leaking and I have a spare to swap it with. Somehow the spare got bent in storage and tried to straighten it out as best I can.
does this look bad? This is after trying to fix the fins.
Air flows through the fins

meh..It's good.
If ya really wanna get "picky' then get a Dental pick or small screwdriver and straighten some of the cooling fins on it..But as you said the part is temporary and will suffice.
