Doubling up of springs is not a good idea if you're looking for a long engine life. I would look for the proper springs personally.

Adding extra springs are likely to just increase the wear on your engine.

You should get 3mm apex springs to match your 3mm apex seals.

Single spring per seal is correct for 3mm.

Double springs per seal is correct for 2mm.
