Default How hard are double springs to install?

Im doing a cam in the next couple of months. The cam I choose will most likely require the dual valve springs. I have a buddy that has put in singles before but is worried that the doubles will be harder. Any info?

Yeah, same as the singles, except...I used a tool like shown below to remove the single stock springs, but it didn't work on the Patriot duals. So I made a Larry-style tool and it worked great.

Just playing. They weren't any harder to install then Singles.

JRP you mean LOGIC right?? Logistics means the moving and control of equipment.

With the right tool duals aren't any harder, my bud and I on here (BLKWS6) have installed over 20 cams & springs and we use the more tool on some springs and the Larry's tool on others,its to the point we can do cam/springs in 4-4.5 hrs now without breaking a sweat.
