You guys have way better monitors than I do to pick out details and see straight lines. I always assume anything seeming torqued is simply distorted by my CRT. I have no reason based on what I'm seeing to assume the boiler is anything but in tram.

Since we don't know what the design is, what the calculations are, what is missing and not yet replaced, seems we don't have enough information to make more than guesses about what will be safe or not by what standard when and if this work is completed - or maybe it has been and is proven safe or otherwise in QC or in service?

Very good practical point about reducing the scrap stuff into manageable segments. At least they don't have to move it all through the firedoor.
