I went looking for a valve spring spec, found their site down, And not much help from the online mega-retailers who have Near nothing in stock. Found the specs on another site, but kept digging and eventually Came across an obituary 😒 https://www.jconline.com/obituaries/ljc061439Anyone know if they have any plans to come back? Seems unlikely at this point. Thx

Yes, unfortunate of his passing. K MOTION has been discontinued. I believe Manley bought up their stock. We use alot of PAC, PSI, Manley, Comp, Isky and Ferrea springs.

That's too bad, one less option available.

The racing industry just keeps getting smaller and smaller as investment corporations keep buying up the brand names, merging them and ruining what has been a good thing for 50+ years.

They have been OK for me a few times now, but I've only built street engines.
Have read about many failures on them in the past, especially on certain part numbers, which definitely soured alot of folks on the brand.
