Pull the engine out and then inspect to see if you both of them or just one. Most likely it's just one judging from my last visit to the prior owner. Regardless I have S5 housing that are mint.

If money were no object, I would get new ones (or even cermet coated ones).

But re-using good housings is fine, and they will still make good compression #s if broken in properly (dont want to start the break-in period debate).

You probably have to use your own housings for that though. So if you don't have housings or if your housings are screwed that doesn't help. But it does look good though.

Better to go all out than half-assed.
