Yes, due to the rotation of the engine. The springs have a tab that locks them in place and keeps them from spinning.

I may have at one of the KCRX7 club meets a few years ago. Since we didn't have name tags with our screen names, I'm not sure who was who. The meet was at Art's house, if that makes any difference.
