Hopefully its not in your head, and you do pick up something. Changing springs is a hell of a maintenance to gain nothing.

I swapped my springs when I put in my cam, but I had the luxury of doing them with the heads off. Also, my first time and I used the same crane tool you did. I had problems with the locks staying jammed inside the retainers even after I compressed the stock springs. I dont think I would have had the patience to do them on car...goodluck with the back end of the passenger side.

About how long did it take you to do the one head?
