Retired Wrencher 4,879 #1 Posted October 20, 2023 Looking for some info on Valve spring #`s on the K181. I have the original #`s but they do not show up when ordering new ones. Any info would help. The intake and the long exhaust spring. Thanks in advance. Original Intake #I230010 Exhaust #230010 or 230168. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,342 #3 Posted October 20, 2023 @Retired Wrencher Are you looking at the parts manual for these numbers? Just looking at my copy, there's three springs listed, depends on the engine's spec number -- what's the spec number on yours? 230010 230168 231635 Amazon has the 230010 spring, but not the others. I'd check with K&B like Jim suggested, just because they're one of our vendors here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
