Cracks In New Riser Gasket (graphite only)

[saxman9801]

Went to put my new riser gaskets on looks like the got flexed a little bit and there is some cracking in the graphite, should I get some new ones or will they seal up fine once they flatten out.

Thanks

The gaskets cost a few bucks. A failed gasket can cost you an engine.
You decide.

Valid Point....Just blows they are new out of the bag this way, didn't know if it was normal to see them like this. I'll snag some new ones tommorrow.
