    Not stock, but not sure what they are. It's a 1.26 diameter spring with Ti retainers - non beehive. I'm just going to buy a set of Patriot golds.

        did it hurt the cylinder or the valve at all?

          The Patriots are dual springs. It broke at idle, and the spring is still holding the valve shut, it just has no control over the valve now. I don't think it did anything to the valve.

                      I did a compression test - 155 PSI. I think it's safe to say the valve is sealing.
