Head Gasket a little bit bent

[NetCustoms]

Purchased a 50mm kit and when I went to put it on today I noticed that the head gasket wouldn't lay flay on my work bench and it had a bend in it. I was going to take a picture but forgot, maybe put one up tomorrow. I figure the torqueing down should just straighten it but just wanted to know if anyone put on a slightly bent gasket before and sealed correctly. Also, should i use washers on the studs or just use some M6 nuts? The kit didn't have the M6 nuts with it so I don't know what ppl are using, the ones that I have seen in other kits seem different then I can buy at a place local.

Hello. My bbk also came with a bent head gasket. put it on and have had no problems with it. just be sure to follow the torque specs.

as long as it isn't over 15 degree bend it should be fine
