inner valve spring?

[72chevynoob]

So I just installed the heads on my engine, and cam break in specs say to remove the inner valve spring. I took the retainer off, but can't get the inner valve spring out. It seems like I would need pliers. How do I remove them?
Thanks

I had the machine shop just not install mine. Remove both springs and then pull the inner out.

I've never had a cam go bad due to leaving the inner springs in during break in. Is is a very high lift with stiff valve springs or a stocker?

It is the comp cams xe268 with 110/330 springs. The inners seem wedged in though? Or do I just have to pull harder?

Is the inner a spring or a dampner? If the inner is flat it's a dampner not a spring.

Well that makes more sense. It is a dampener. What is its purpose? Does it control spring rebound?

Controls spring oscillations, like a shock absorber. Your spring rate sounds high for a hyd flat tappet. Comp shows single spring w/dampner to be 105/273
330 open would probably be for a dual spring, one with inner round spring.
If you have the real dual spring at 330 I would remove inner spring, if it's single spring with dampner at 273 I would leave it as is to break in.
330 for a street hyd lifter sounds too high to me.

I looked again. 100/300. The cam calls for 110/330 though.
