Default Broke a valvespring

Yesterday cruising 70mph coming back from lunch the ol SES light started flashing , started to miss. Then it lost stupid power and I barely maded back to our dealership where I work. Started making that wonderful clacking sound on the driver side.
Pulled the valve cover and found the second one back from the front broken at the top of the coil. Big thanks to Josh @ Scoggin Dickey who overnighted me a new spring. I'll have it back in the afternoon to see if I have any ptv damage. Hopefully not.

Got my spring in and she's running better than ever. My technician said it looked like it had been broken for a while, must have just collapsed. Idle even sounds better. I'm thinking that's was caused my driver side 02 to go out twice.
