    We can't even see the valve springs so how can we tell from the picture?? 88 super ETA should have single valve springs (no inner springs)...mine didn't.

        do you even know what you're looking for?


        Double valve springs are like 1 spring inside the other- it's impossible to tell from your pics.

        And, who's to say that someone didn't stick them in that car sometime in the last 20 years??? Just because they might be there doesn't mean they came from the factory that way.......

          Looks like a full titanium head, very modded, double valve springs, full v-tech, and a larger cam!!!!

          E-30 tech told you right:)

            Look inside the spring you can see. Is there another small coiled spring inside it?

            If there is you have double valve springs.

                This thread was not nearly as fun as the title lead me to believe...
