Z1-B valve springs

#1 PostAuthor: steve452 » Thu Sep 17, 2020 5:36 pm

Can anyone confirm whether Z1-B valve springs are handed (or up & down-ed if that makes more sense)? I've still got them in the orientation they came out of the head, by means of tie wraps, but the coil spacings look identical on each end.

With equidistant coils they go either way.
With tighter coils they go to the top.
