2 weeks ago whilst running my inferno I noticed that a cooling fin on the head was broken off my lrp 21Z engine. Last weekend after an afternoon running there was another 2 fins broken( no crashes ) just the fins breaking off the cooling head Any ideas and what will be the implications of carrying on running this engine. Can they be fixed?

Possibly this OR you might be running far too lean, seen this happen more than once.
No the head can't be fixed - it'll be a new one (head).

Really I have over leaned on purpose to kill and engine....I have had a mill over 375 before and have never had a cooling fin fall off......

I destroyed quite a few engines, never had that happen. Hell even the cooling head on my Axial was stronger than the block was.
I botched a backflip on grass and cracked the block.

Yep done it myself (by accident by running for extended periods) on a Collari XS2100 and seen it happen on a 421B Rossi too. By this I mean running overlean for a few tanks rather than it happen in 5 mins if you see what I mean.
