Make sure to replace those fat O-rings also. They shrink up and get brittle over time.
Leak down test? I don't do those normally but a "well worn" engine is going to fail. It still might have a lot of good run time in it though. I would just look at compression and enjoy the ride.
OEM parts are better on the RAVE parts. I wish the aftermarket ones were cheaper then they are. You can search ebay by part # to look for deals on OEM components. Aftermarket ones work fine too though if need be.
