do the stock springs have a lil inner spring thing?

The springs on my stock heads (i think) that i'm selling have springs w/ a lil inner spring like thing and was wondering if thats how all stock ones come, thinking maybe they will be able to sell better if they already have upgraded springs?

All three sets of stock heads that I have had were equiped with single coil valve springs. To get any more money for having aftermarket dual coil valve springs on there, you will need to know the specs on them. People are going to want to know and if that info is not known, then the buyer will pretty much count on them not being right for their combo and not give any extra money.

If you see a little flat wound spring inside, that is stock.

I believe he's talking about the damper maybe?

Lloyd told me stock springs didn't have dampers.

Maybe I am thinking of the ones I replaced them with. Oops, yeah that's right. I just looked at some pics of my old springs-no dampers, just single springs.

I may be suffering from sometimers, but I believe my stock springs DID have dampers. I swithced them out for some single coil REV springs for my small cam.

So I guess I am going with the guys who said "yes" the stockers had dampers.
