Well, how much is the labour cost/your time to install them? As if this is a significant amount, I'd put new ones in to be sure of getting the longest life out of them!
-
well i'm getting engine stripped down and new steam seals. tappets sorted. decoked etc. around 200 mark now.
-
Given your doing all that I'd get new ones.
Imagine how annoyed you'd be if they failed a month after fitting them!

hummm £15 each so that 24!!!!
but saying that the bloke was top fitter at mazda for a good number of years so he knows his stuff
