Tim did you see on your springs if there was a colored stripe on them, and if you did was it the same on all the heads?

One set had blue stripe (correct)
Other set had no stripe, that's normally a tripple spring so I don't kkow what was going on

Which set broke ?

Isn't that one set a duel spring with a dampener?
My new AFR heads came in the box and got dropped off at Dave Wesseldyke's to get EVERYTHING checked out..

Blue stripe wouldn't be correct, the pac spring is a green stripe. We went through this when I got my afr's. My builder looked them up and he thought the stripe on my springs looked blue, which would have been a pioneer spring and he would have made me change. AFR discontinued use of the pioneer spring sometime late last year, when I talked to AFR he told me that there wasn't even a blue/black stripe spring (pioneer) in there facility when the order was placed for my heads, they were gone long before that. I placed that phone call to get it all straight to assure my builder, and had them send me pics of the pioneer spring with the blue/black stripe to confirm. The pac spring has a green stripe on them, if it has a blue/black stripe it is a pioneer spring.

Tim, did you get that info from AFR? Mine also had light blue paint on the springs, IIRC. Mine were ordered with the PAC springs that were supposed to be good for a hyd roller setup. Can't remember the exact specs, but sounds like you are probably running similar lifts on your cams.

Tim, did those procomps come with the right springs and guides lubed ?

There is a reason nobody lubes the guides. I've been thinking about it all day and I can only remember installing one set of heads that had lube on them.

I'm thinking dirt magnet, but just a guess. Does everything not get lubed on final assembly?
