My complete gasket kit included exhaust flange springs but they did not provide four in the same size. There are two each, in tow different sizes.
So is it a packaging blunder or do they go on in a particular way to use the different sizes?
thanks

Probably doesn't matter if they hold everything together. Looked in my spare pile and the springs look all the same except the ones that maybe got toasted/fatigued are shorter. An average one is .770 O.D. with a .120 wire diameter and just less than 1 inch in free length.
