springs 3mm or 2mm

Hello friends of the community, it is the first time I write in the forum, recently bought a 13brew engine when it apart I found that had apex seals 3mm but the springs were double of 2 mm, now my question, I need putting on 3mm springs 13b 78-85 who are the only ones I get, or can leave the 2mm? thanks

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.
