I expect to put ~1-2k more miles on it before I can replace the valve springs myself this Summer. Do I have a ticking time bomb that will blow before I can get it done this summer, or should I be fine risking it? If so, what's the worst damage that can happen to my engine if the valve-springs do fail? Since it's an H-4, the valves wouldn't drop in the cylinder, would they? As I said, I just bought this car, and I don't want it to grenade within the first few months.

Well, like they say in the old country, if it ain't broke yet .... (something or other).
