valve spring

Some valve springs are progressive and have tighter coils at one end. Those should be installed with the tightly wound coils at the bottom.

 

That doesn't look like a progressive spring to me, hence it should not matter which way up it goes.

 

Would have been nice of they could have ground the ends square. Maybe its just the picture... :)

No, that's a Chinese BC spring, they make them from straightened out Chinese Puzzles you know :) Kauffman eat your heart out.... It'll straighten up in use, (and go soft and take a set, no doubt).

 

 

It can be fitted either way up, as Digsy says. Stock ones are progressive, to help stop harmonics, the Yanks don't worry about *hit like that ;)
