My Dad did that in the 60's with a new Mercury that was a lemon. Drove it a couple miles from home, set it on fire, stood there drinking a beer and watched it burn.

Are they telling you it is valve springs or do you know for a fact it is? I tried searching your other posts, but wasn't sure which one this all started.

I salute you for your patience and restraint. I would have drove the thing into the showroom window if it was me.

This is the first I am hearing with a valve spring issue. Are they breaking or heating to fatigue or what?
