Apparently the valve springs can be installed upside down. I did not know this so there is a very good chance that the valves are in incorrectly on my build. Now the question is what damage will it cause?

At very high rpms, there's the risk of early valve float and spring chafing, possible breaking, where the edges of the coils pound against each other (from premature partial coilbounce/coilbind, flutter)...

I did not notice anything asymmetric about my valve springs. What is the difference between the top and bottom?
