Default Bent Cooling Fins on Head.

Today I bent the top cooling fin on the head of my rc. my question is, can it be fixed or is it just better to leave it as it is? It's just on one side and isn't touching the lower fin. But it is bent at a considerable angle. Thanks.

Leave it as it is, it's not hurting anything.

Go beat it more and bend it more

If it's still in one piece then you'll be fine.

You can bend it back to shape if its a machined head (OS and most chinese engines), but not if its cast (any other engine manufacturer).
