Nothing, but you should check your crank case for cracks. A hard hit on concrete tends to put cracks in the crank case under the mounting flanges. Then you get erratic tuning and a mess all over the sides of the engine from the fuel leaking out.

Replace it. Either replace the crank case or the engine.

a cooling fin here or there is not to big of deal. i ran a 3.3 for weeks missing 3 fins, till i striped the glow plug threads. oh yea dont hold the glow plug by the threads with pliers, it messes the threads up then strips the cooling head.
