I took all the springs off last night. The only two broken springs were #3 intake and #7 exhaust. AFR is sending me a whole new set. I verified cam lift, rocker ratio, rocker to keeper clearance, and coil bind clearance. Still no clue why they broke. AFR said these heads were two years old based on the serial number on the sticker. The springs did not have the colored ID stripe that their current springs are marked with. AFR switched spring manufacturers about that time, so maybe mine was an old set and maybe didn't get heat treated appropriately.

So a new set is going on and then we will see what happens.
