I think I broke a valvespring :(
I was driving along on Saturday, when the car started sputtering/stumbling and the motor didn't sound normal....my guess is that I broke one of my comp 918 springs after 2 years of service. What do I do now? How much will this cost to fix?
Luckily, Andy of A&A Auto will be taking care of my baby.......wish me luck!

Tow it, don't drive and it'll be a reasonably easy swap out. Which cylinder spring broke?
Shouldn't be much $$$, I used my broken spring as an excuse to get heads.

Very easy to fix if you have air and a few tools. About an hour if you take both valve covers off. Other question is should you replace them all?
I busted one Lunati then another now I am changing all of them. (to another brand with the blue stripes)
