HOLY **** MAN! What the hell did you tighten that thing on with?

Anyway, about the radiator, take a small screwdriver and pry each one of those fins out and try to make a nice flow area. I bashed the hell out of mine with a 15lb cast iron mallet while trying to pull out my damper, I fixed it the same way I recommended and didn't have any problems.

Looks like a demolition derby going on at your place!

If the radiator does not leak and you can get enough efficiency out of it by straightening some fins, you will survive.

first: you will never work on my car.

second: iwould take the radiator off and fix best you can, then go have it pressure tested. if it has leaks let them fix it.

I figured you only needed the pipe wrenches to get filters off of Saturns
