You should get it shaved if its warped, check it first with a straight edge, it shows you how to do it in your gregorys. Make sure you check the cam journal to see how badly its affected. Thats needs to be dead straight sometimes it wont be affected, depends how badly its warped. There is also the option of getting it 'straightened', i dont know much about this, recall Alan saying it involved the heating and straightening of the head, altho i think there was a risk of wrecking the head as well.
