Broken/Weak Valve Spring Symptoms
What are the symptoms of broken/weak valve springs?

I understand valve float at upper rpm for weak springs is common.

Would a broken spring cause the tune to go out the window, and would it necessarily have mechanical noise?

You'd have issues with a broken valve spring...like a dropped valve into the chamber which would make a lot of noise.

What symptoms are you experiencing that give you the idea of a broken valve spring?
