Can Anyone Identify These Rocker Arms and Valve Cover?

Looking at the last picture it looks like you might have duel valve springs (kinda hard to tell from the one picture) with the inner spring installed the wrong way, the inner spring should be installed with the wind going the opposite way of the outer, otherwise with them going the same way it's possible under some conditions for the inner spring to slip a coil into the outer spring coil breaking springs and rockers.

Whoa there, hold on a sec. Did you just say that the inner spring is orientated wrong? A spring is wound in one direction. If it is wound in the same direction as the outer spring, "orientating" it the opposite way will cause the inner spring to be winding...the same as the outer spring, again, because....a spring doesn't change direction if you flip it upside down. i.e. a clockwise spring stays clockwise regardless of orientation. Thanks for that brain twister. I had to think about that a sec.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
