As to the springs, if it is indeed a motor from a BA up to the 9/2005 they are standard 6cyl springs, after that date, they added upgraded springs for the Turbo ONLY, I will take a look at them today and let you know any further info I can find. As to the yellow marking, this head may have been worked on in it's warranty period and the mechanic may have done that for his benefit? I have not seen one before with those markings. I will get back to you ok?

paint on headbolts looks like marking for angle when they were torqued up.
you can see another dab on the head itself as well. NFI on valve springs, i don't know if ACL even sell valve springs?

ok that would be good. the motor had only done 50,000Ks then it was rebuilt but never put in a car after that.

Ok, I found out what you need to know. The springs are the standard springs and for Turbo up to 09/2005, the Later Turbo springs have a greyish paint on top. Sorry about the crappy pic of the standard spring but I juggled the phone when I took it

The springs are as you see them, single no inner helper, the V8 springs are inner and outer.
