    Radiator has been acting up, got a new OEM Denso.Should I be concerned about this?

    I was able to bend most of the fins back.

    I'm not too worried about the fins that you can bend back, but I don't like that bend on the core of the unit. I'd send it back and get a new one.

    Alot of them
    You should be fine. Those fins bend easy so it's pretty common to stuff like that.

    Edit....I didn't notice the bend. I would request a replacement.

    I made the mistake of ordering denso on Amazon. 2 came in both were damaged. Return that thing and order at RockAuto.

    I argued with Amazon about not getting a replacement in a timely fashion so loudly they said keep it & have your damn money.

    I need a good radiator to go to L.A. at 3am tomorrow so I took the damaged radiator to a shop, they pressure tested it & found it good, tested mine & it's leaking, they installed the new one, I was running at 205 before pre overflow nipple breakage, now it is 190.


    I will order the CSF when I get back from L.A.
