The 3 springs should only be on the exhaust. Apparently some previous
mechanic has read the mis-print in the Haynes and followed it. Just to be
sure, I double-checked the TR4 Bentley, it says 3 springs on the exhaust in
several places.
Note that the 3 springs take a special pedestal, which is just a loose ring
that fits around the valve guide against the head. If memory serves, the
instructions with my 2-spring replacement set said to remove the pedestal.
