I have found my torque wrench since then. 
So you throw a spacer in with the new gasket and let it warp back. In couple weeks take the spacer out... I'm half serious. Probably something I would try if I was doing the labor on my own car and all the other option required the outlay of more cash. Metallurgy is a little weird so...  |
That's something I would probably try if I bought the kit used. Having bought new and plan on keeping it for a long time, I don't think I should resort to warping a part back into place lol.
Admittedly, it does sound like it might work though
