Default Will a bent cooling head break off?

My car fell on the wooden floor. Well both got dameged lol. My hobby shop owner that it will break off at some point due to resonance. It isnt really bent. It doesnt touch other cooling fins. Its not really noticable but if it breaks off i will surely go nuts.

No, I have a couple of bent fins on my os engines, and they haven't broken off. If it cops another big hit, it may crack and break off.

Default It could, but

I have had a few break over the years, but never took me out of a race. If they break replace, don't worry too much about them be bent.

I broke all the fins off in a long main at a big regional race and motor was fine just came off 40-50 degrees hotter.
