Stupid Question Maybe???

Are valve springs specific to intake or exhaust sides? Or are they all the same???

Also, how do you tell the difference between intake and exhaust cams? One box has a red dot and one box has a green dot on them...

Thanks...

depends on the springs...most stock springs are different for the intake and exhaust. while on the other hand aftermarket ones...like my skunk 2 set were universal for exhaust and intake.

Here's a big

to me... Makes perfect sense... lol... Should have thought about that...

And as far as the springs go, I also have Skunk2 springs.. So it really shouldn't matter that I mixed them up in the box???
