Default valve springs
I ordered some valve springs for my 94 12 valve and they are 60# like I ordered, but now I'm told I need 60# over stock for my 4k gsk. Is this true, how many # are factory springs?

Om i was reading my cummins service manual and it said that the springs should be between 80 and 89 lbf , does this mean that the 60# are weaker?

if they are 60# that means they are 60 over stock
