Does anyone know how to tell if the springs in your head are uprated or not?

Standard springs have red paint so no paint likely means uprated boss

pretty sure ctm would have fitted the uprated springs when you ordered the cam as you can't run the 285 with out them, and ctm wouldn't have missed that, you would see signs of damage by now after 7 years of running with coil bound springs in your head:ashamed:
