Post Which of your springs broke?

Just like the title asks, which spring broke? Was it your outer or your inner or both? I am just curious as to what others have found when they popped of their valve covers.

What about not having a spring break. *knocks on wood* I have a small cam with the PAC1518 springs. I avoid comp 918's like the plague after seeing with my own eyes several of my friends cars go down because of them.

Old news. That's been fixed a while ago. Thousands of them running just fine now.
