Default Broken spring...TFS 215 heads from 2007

I bought my heads back in 07 from T.E.A and i recently broke a valve spring.I know i should probably replace all the springs but i was wondering if i could replace one without a problem.The springs were the duals they assembled with the TFS 215 heads and i wonder if they changed the spring design since 07.Any help would be appreciated

5 years old and one broke. IMO changing one would be a serious gamble. I see the "plans" in your sig so I understand wanting to change just one.

Look at it this way, you replace them all and you can sell off your old setup complete with some fresh springs. You take the gamble you might be OK or you might wreck a whole bunch of stuff and not have much left to sell.

I highly recommend replacing them all. Definitely not worth the risk of only replacing one.

Would the PRC .675" EHT Double Springs be a good candidate?

Depends on what your currently running cam wise or what you plan to do, but either our PRC .650 dual springs or our PRC .675s are a great reliable choice!

Currently running the torquer 2 from you guys,and thanks i think ill go that route.Would you think the age had something to do with the spring breaking,or something else?

To be honest it could be a number of things, but considering the age the springs I believe that probably played a part considering the type of abuse they might have seen over the course of 5 years. For the Torquer V2 I recommend you purchase our PRC .650 springs which will handle this cam with ease!
