anyone got a photo of how the stock ic is put together? are the fins just slid in prior to fitting the end caps on ? or are they tacked in place ? i think i could cut the end cap off and repair it if i knew the fins weren't gonna be destroyed .

 

I'm not sure but here's some pictures I took when I had mine out...

 

thx . can't tell . i was advised to chuck it for a used one as the going rate is somewhere south of 50.00 what with everyone going to dfics . but i'm going to install wmi so the stocker should be fine .
