I'm going to buy a used fmic. It has some damage, on the lower cooling row (bottom was dented). I'm pretty sure it doesn't leak, but what do you think about the possibility of repairing it? I'd like to pull out the dent and straighten out the fins on the bottom row. It's a Buschur core, bar/plate design, btw. Here are the pics I was given:

I would leave it as it is... that little dent isn't going to make a noticable difference to your car. better to leave it as it is then risk making it leak. but it's up to you, if you think you know what you're doing and you're willing to take the risk, then go for it, but other then looks, i highly doubt you'll feel the difference either way.
 
Thanks guys, I think I will just leave it. Apparently the bottom row is mainly for support anyway, not for cooling. The metal's still there anyway, so it'll still transfer heat.
