Hi guys,

Unfortunately, I'm left with a spring after I changed the pistons rings on my 1.7 engine.....
the spring is not from the valves, not from the rockers arms..I'm not sure where it belongs to..I couldn't find it in any drawing..

The diameter of the coin is 24.25 mm/0.95 in

I'm a bit afraid that I might ruin something in my engine..

If it's not a rocker spring it somehow snuck into your parts box, there is nothing else in a T4 engine that looks like that.

springs in a T4:

Shroud air flap, dizzy and two oil control springs are all smaller.
Valve springs are heavier.
Rocker shaft spring is around that size.
Everything else springy are things like piston clips, pushrod tube spring wire and valve cover bail spring, obviously not.
