Default Broken valve spring: will it be obvious?

Fired up the car after winter storage and she didn't want to purr very nicely. It could be bad gas (even though I used a stabil), but I'd like to rule out other things before I move it out.

I did have a few too many one night and try and rev the new build up before I had her warm, so i just want to be sure I didn't crack a valve spring.

I plan on pulling the covers to take a peak, but will a broken spring be noticeable? (I have BTR dual springs....)

Inner springs can be hard to notice. Sometimes you will not know until you pull the spring. The outers are pretty easy to tell.
