Doesn't really matter, Tang.  Either the bent or unbent feelers will work fine.  A $4 set from your local NAPA / Autozone / Advance Auto will work fine.

The valve clearance should be .001" to .003"

Look at specs, that bent one is .005-.030 range, won't measure for .001-.003 range.  I think the flat one works better anyway, those bent ones work good with screw adjusted valves.

Hold off if you want the kit. I just got a pm from suzukimx4789 and I asked him to send the kit to you. I guess he has been...    well send him a pm and ask him. I think there is a good story.

never mind I just read the east coast thread. I don't think that the kit is going to be back any time soon.
