Wow, never have I heard of a valve spring that could be squeezed with one hand. They must have been very weak.

If I may ask did you remove your heads to change the springs? Or did you bring the piston to TDC and fill with compressed air to keep the valve up while using a valve spring removal tool?

Of course trying to run a number is fine if that is what you want to do but beware if you walk on the edge sometimes you fall off.
