Default May be a stupid question....
but I just want to make sure beforehand.

When installing valvesprings, does it matter which end of the spring is up and which end is down?

I don't think it does, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks guys.

Im sorry man, I was in a rush and forgot to say what kind of springs.

They are Patriot Gold springs.

Hopefully Gunnar will chime in.

If they have a 'smaller' end then put that facing up.

It does not matter. There is no "up" or "down". If you have anymore questions, please let us know.

Only matters if theyre beehive springs, and then they only fit in one direction.
