I don't want to drag this into a long thread, but there were LOTS of 
documented TT spring failures in the past year or so - just ask Ron Wood
or the Potterman, both are well aware of them.  We're not talking rumour
and innuendo here, these are real incidents, and lots of them.  We all
know that TT generally has a sterling reputation - but they clearly got
screwed by a supplier providing a whole buttload of bad valve springs.
