Guys at the machine shop chucked our cylinder head in hot tank (didn't ask them to).

Noticed that the Viton valve stem oil seals have lifted off the guides. are these likely to be knackered now they have been in the tank, or can we just shove em back on?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Maybe after you've swapped the valve steam oil seals and fitted the head.
