help and advice needed.....

..right just got some new Ford head gaskets from the bay....BUT however I'm not sure they are any use....the metal rings that would go round the pistons have kinks in them...can anyone have a look at the pics and tell me if they are scrap....so I can try and get my money back...thanks all..

 

..at least 3 rings have kinks in....

they might compress down and seal ok. But there is certainly a chance that they won't and removing the heads again to change them is a time consuming activity that I wouldn't want to be doing twice if I could help it.

they'd probably be alright but to be honest i wouldn't use them.

 

people may disagree but there's nothing worse than doing a big job twice

I'd be prepared for the "it wasn't like that when I posted it, complain to the Royal Mail not me" song and dance though.
