Mine were like that. Are they new lifters you have ? They are very stiff when new which is probably why they are bending

yup, pics in my garage of them, but i also read a while ago on puntosports that they can be put on either way, tbh i dont know what the difference is, but they arnt causing any problems, so ill leave them be

i heard by one person they have to be the same as say your boot would be due to lubrication or something inside could be a load of shite though lol

I would imagine they are the wrong way up, because any lube in the piston will be at the bottom near your wing.

I could be wrong and don't have bonnet lifters
