    Due to some leaks I have recently had to remove the fan shroud multiple times and have accedentaly created some damage to my radiator I straitened some of this out but am wondering if this damage is ok some of it if not most was from shipping.

    As long as you didn't puncture the tubes your fine, a few bent fins won't hurt anything.

    You need to see the bugs embedded in mine. Im amazed it cools the same as it always has. I run a SGII to monitor temps and they are spot on. I have no idea if the T stat is open more because of the bugs, but I'm happy.

    I think they make a tool, sort of like a comb to straighten out rad coils. Or you can do it by hand with a small pick. But I agree with above, i think you're good!
