put it on a flat metal surface, should rock slightly.
You can but you will have no hardening @ the end,the valve tip will chew these up in no time,so the answer is no.
Like with lifters--flat is dead, and re-grinding only works if you can re-harden them after.

New ones are about $14 each from Porsche. You may want to consider 911 swivel feet which are about $20 each. It looks like you have the early 1.7 rocker arms with the 8mm adjusters.
Got it !
Tossed the old ones. Ordered new stock. Didn't know about the hardening ends.

Why the heck would you pay Porsche prices for a VW part?
