If the engine ran fine before the accident, and there isn't any obvious damage to it, I would just drop it in and fire it up. Why take it apart? I don't have an Uncle that works at Fel-Pro, so I can't really see a reason why I would. Besides, if there is a problem, then you will know, but if you waste the money tearing it down now, and find there was nothing wrong, then you have wasted time and money.
just drop it in and try it!!
Take care,
