Just holding my reed cage up to the light I can see the reeds are not sealing on their own....any opinions on whether or not they need replacing

I guess it might seem obvious that they do but I did not know if the primary compression was pushing back form the inside of the motor and causing them to seal anyway?

Not to mention I cant find a part number of the parts fiche so assume Honda wanted to sell the whole block....seems a stretch with such a consumeable part?
