Hello all.
I'm going to install my inner valvesprings tonight.
My question is this:
The inner springs have an end that is pretty sharp and the other end of the coil is more rounded. All the springs are the same as far as the ends of the coil having a sharper more pointed end and the other end of the coil more rounded off.
Does it matter which end is against the locater and which end is under the retainer?
Obviously, I'll do them all the same, but I'm not sure which end is up or if it matters
Thanks guys.

It doesn't really matter.
That being said, just because it's just as easy to install one way as the other, I like the ends to match.
If you look at the ends of the outer coils you'll see they also have two distinctly different cuts on the ends, that are basically the same as the inners.
I install the inners so that the inner and outer springs have the cuts match each other end for end.

When I'm paying attention, I usually put the "pointed" tips up, "square" tips down...... But it doesn't really matter.
