Is this spray bar bent or meant to be this way?

[M K]

Was dummy fitting a sump baffle earlier on the block so had to bolt on the oil pump and spray bar to check clearance (4x4 BT item) and noticed the pick up strainer is on the wonk,







Is this meant to be this way or has it been bent by someone somehow? i bought it like this so have no idea and need to know if its wrong because of making the sump baffle around it.

Thanks
Marc

its not meat to be like that ,if you pull it up it will level out must of been dropped

Thanks anyway fletch

Cheers guys, I am going to source another one as I think it will crease if it's bent back and I can't risk oil flow problems,

If anyone has a mint one for sale pm me,

Thanks
