Default dented turbine cans ????

I took my P120 out of a plane today, an the case is actually slightly dented from the rail to which it was mounted, and i also have 2 small dents from the clamps which held the turbine on ..

The engine turns smoothly, and ran fine durring the last start ..

does it matter if the outer can gets slightly dented ? how much of a structual significance does the outer case have ? is there any way that this would afect engine performance ? could this ofset the shaft or throw it out of balance ? im not familiar with the internal structure of the P120, so im not suire if i just should not worry, or if i need this fixed .//



thanx
