Yes, I do. Back when we first discussed it, I checked them visually. I didn't have a spring compressor then but didn't see anything. It has steadily gotten worse on the drive to and from the shop. I wasn't sure I was going to make it home today. The mechanic said he saw the broken spring but it wasn't easily visible back then. On the drive home it got much worse and would barely hold the idle. I bet the spring was fracturing along the way. As soon as I took off the valve cover, it was obvious this time.

I am lucky.
