    The spring you found in the oil pan sure looks like it could be a detent 
ball spring, like from a shifting rail. Other possibility is camshaft 
retaining spring? Do Cubs use them?

I don't know if anyone cares about my International 184 engine rebuild,
but I am going to tell you anyway. :-) (You can always just hit the
"delete" key and dump the message.)

The first thing I did when I went out to the barn was pull the oil
pressure relief spring out of the 184 engine. As you can see at
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/international_184/comparison-with-oil.html#media>,
the larger spring is the one from the relief valve and the smaller one
is what I found in the oil pan. So that will have to remain a mystery.
