no. that is not normal. Pins should be straight as an arrow and I'm curious how that could happen. Either slid out of it's resting place and got torqued by the chain or bent in the middle (secured on both ends by block and cover) equally by some extraordinary torqued placed on the pin.
As for the heater hose, I'm not aware of any 'threads' but it just is pressed in (by hand) into the head assuming it is the one driver's side towards cylinders 5/6 on the head.
