You just don't want to get it all back together and discover that they leak because they have rusted thru or that one cracked where it got wrinkled. If they look really good, go ahead and straighten them (the pushrods MUST NOT touch them anywhere.) You can reuse the seals IF they are still pliable. I find that the case end ones are often fine, but the head ones have gotten much hotter. > > Study the Bentley manual to make sure that you got all the cooling tin > that > > this engine should have.
