You should be ok with a bent fin. it just shows that you been running it hard..lol. Just to be sure, I would check the outside of the motor and make sure there are no cracks in the block. I am sure there isn't any, but check just in case. You can also take a screw driver and bend it back so its somewhat straight. Just be carfull not to break the fins below it.
