Several years ago I had a 3.8 Windstar come in with a miss, after the diag I found that it had a broken valve spring. Replaced the spring and the valve stem seal and it was fixed, thankfully no ptv issues.

Normally that is all that is necessary. I was taken back by the bent valve. But what the heck you cant win them all. But it shocked me as to how many of these springs are breaking. Seems like a tun of these are breaking on a regular bases. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks.
