What is the purpose of a single outer valve spring?

Single outer valve springs are a key component in managing valve operation. They work to close the valves quickly and prevent valve float, especially at higher engine speeds or with more aggressive camshaft profiles.

What does the '1.480in Outer W' designation mean?

This refers to the outer diameter of the valve spring, which is 1.480 inches. The 'W' likely indicates a specific design or series from COMP Cams, often related to its intended application or performance characteristics.

Are these springs sold individually or as a set?

The product description indicates these are 'Single Outer Valve Springs,' suggesting they are sold individually. For a complete valve spring assembly, you would typically need to purchase multiple springs, retainers, and possibly seals separately.
