Sounds like you didn't get what you ordered. It sounds like you got dual springs when the part you ordered is a single spring. Call Comp.

Did you order specific springs for a specific cam?

inner spring is common on roller lifters and aggressive flat tappets to make sure valves don't get ADD.

Make sure you don't use inner spring while breaking in a flat tappet cam.

Don't use good headers while doing flat tappet break in.

Don't use them at all until you figure out what they are. 942-16 is what he said they were, these are not dual springs.

Thank you all for your advice, but i have gotten the part number wrong on the springs, the comp springs part # is 927-16 and my Comp Cam camshaft # is 31-414-3, are these two compatible with each other, i know it says that the springs aren't recommended with the cam on compcams but can i still use them?
