Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fully assembled with valve springs
Clutches and valvetrain assemblies for vehicles go to Chapter 87.
If for stationary engines not in vehicles
Loses vehicle-specific principal use, becomes general steel part.
If for compression-ignition diesel engines
Engine type (spark vs compression) determines subheading.
