My car developed a miss. So after all the plug, plug wire check and compression check, realized it had to be something under the valve cover. Sure enough, broken valve spring. So, can I just order one or do I have to get a whole set? And all I know about them is they are dual and they came with my TFS TW heads that I bought used. Thanks!

I would go full set, based on the requirement for the cam you have installed..... BTSTDT.

^What he said...

That spring failed for a reason.
If one spring failed, then the other springs are likely close to failure as well.

I wouldn't trust my opinion on what spring to run, so I will suggest calling the cam company that made your cam... see what they say
