If I pull them to inspect them their gasket washer has already been crushed so I just throw new ones in. They have looked fine so maybe I'll just call it quits on "inspecting" them every 5,000?
You can put them back in. Done it dozens of times, won't hurt anything. A little anti seize and snug em up, good to go.
