One of the springs is 2 mm longer than the other and has thinner wire. The last guy had a 50/50 when he guessed which one went where and he rolled snake-eyes. It does matter, because it deals w/ oil pressure. I'm not sure what effect the stuck one had but it wasn't good.

I proceeded to clean the case my way, including cleaning all of the old adhesive from mating surfaces and studs and cleaning small passages. I use a very fine flat stone w/ WD-40 type spray to clean flat mating surfaces, it is a very mild "surfacer" that will catch any burrs or tiny high-spots on flat aluminum.






I do a final clean w/ etching-type alloy wheel cleaner to get a *better than factory* finish on case parts:
