I can understand a valve spring breaking, I"ve seen it on other engines, but there was 5 of the valve springs broke
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
When I got it it had been setting for along time only 1000 hrs. but it had started some rust in it, some on some of the springs, look more like it had just stained them, some rust in front cyl., bearings looked like new, so I put new sleeves and pistons in it, valve job using all old parts.
I got the head off and everything looks good under it.
So has anyone got any idles why the valve springs may have broken?
has anyone had them brake before?
is this something that is common?
should have they just been replaced because of age? [ never seen it on other engine]

looking under the valve cover you would think someone had ran the crap out of it
