Cooling head question

[Papa Squat]

Hey all. Last night while cleaning the Savage and getting it ready to run again... I noticed that one of the fins on the cooling head was bent down into another fin. It's towards the back side of the truck... if I recall correctly. Will this hurt the motor in anyway, or make that much of a difference on keeping it 'cool'? If so, should I try bending it back, or just spend the few $$ and get a new cooling head?

Thank you kindly! :motorcycle:

no big deal mines the same from going over backwards. if you try to bend it back it will probably break as its aluminium ive just left mine alone and had no prblems at all.

Shouldnt impact the cooling from air flow with just a singular fin bent. Now if you got your head bent into something resembling a aluminum cube, might begin to worry

If you do want to try to bend it back make sure its hot when you do it so it's more plyable.

Oh crap. You mean they're Not supposed to look like that?!:duh: LMAO

Thanks for the input guys! The Savy 'should' be all cleaned up and running by this weekend now!! I'll post some pics when it's all ready so I can give it a proper debut.
