was pressure washing some parts and wasnt paying attention and accidently went over the rad fins. will this still be good enough for cooling? i tried to bending most of them back apart.

Your fins are fine. Take a small flat head screw drive and just straight them back out. I have removed sections of fins totally and still was fine.
Yeah, I agree with oldskool. It looks worse than it is. Some tedious, time consuming, work straightening them out with a screwdriver & small needle-nose pliers, and you'll be just fine.

You can also go to an autoparts store and buy one of those radiator fin combs...... saves many painful hours of bending each one back individually. they are plastic and cost a few bucks.
