    yes the 98515 spring and i concur with my esteemed colleague . MR J Clayton . yes boats are not USED the same as car engines . boats are hard on Valve train . i wish i could say i did not know not one thing about boats.... BUT i work at a boat yard one of the biggest in mich over two miles long.. EZ 6 boats a day i work on from 17 foot to very big $$$. even lot of the cheap valves are a mix of alloys some what S steel the new Sbc are very thin from chevy new and most of the time the stock intake valve can not be re ground less you need a new blade to shave your face with. they sure will pull threw the head but if the springs are weak the best valve can go to cup
