It's probably ok but you'll need to try to figure out why it bent.  You didn't crank the boost up, did you? Wink

The only thing I can think of is without pressure on the lifters the heads could have been smacking the bottom of the block and contacting the cam erratically but other than that I have seen many people driving rigs with only half the cylinders working and they think that is normal. LOL the old scrubs are normally running on half their cylinders!
