In 10,000 miles, a valve spring goes up and down 40 million times. It gets tired—starts bouncing too much, or too little. At high revs it may let gas escape from the cylinder chamber, so that your engine gets less compression than it needs and you use up more and more petrol trying to get the power you ought to be getting. Or a valve spring may be shortened by overheating then itwon'tbouncefast enoug h,so the engine overheats, and eventual Ly the exhaust valve burns out. And that's expensive, So new valve springs help maintain maximum power. They keep petrol consumption down. They save money.
