Quick Question: 22RE Valve Spring Orientation?
Swapping some valve seals on a 22re head. Weather's been inconsistent so I have worked on and off.
Lucky me, the wind tipped two of my valve springs which mean I lost the orientation they came out of.
Here's the question. Unlike other valve springs which have a tighter coil signifying the downward position, these all look identical to me.
Are they identical or is there some way to identify orientation?

I don't KNOW the answer to your question, but the FSM doesn't refer to orientation (up/down or rotation) when installing.

I don't think it matters. They do seem identical. Thanks for your feedback. Gives me a little more confidence to just put them back in.
