Detailed Description

Melling Stock camshafts are developed as OE replacement components for applications that need factory-style engine behavior rather than an aggressive performance profile. Part number MC1376 uses a hydraulic design with 0.408 intake valve lift, 0.414 exhaust valve lift, 188 degrees intake duration at .050 inch lift, and 190 degrees exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. That combination supports stock replacement service in Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler applications listed for this camshaft.

The Stock product line focuses on replacement camshafts engineered to match engine requirements for horsepower, economy, and torque within OEM application targets. If you are replacing a worn camshaft in a Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Jeep Wrangler engine, MC1376 provides a direct stock-style option with the specifications needed for original-equipment type operation.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or damaged camshaft in stock engine service.
• Restoring valve timing characteristics in OE-style rebuilds.
• Addressing rough idle caused by camshaft wear.
• Correcting loss of engine torque from an out-of-spec cam profile.
• Supporting factory-style drivability in compatible Jeep applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, valve train configuration, and application details before installation. This camshaft is specified as a hydraulic flat tappet design, so lifter and valvetrain compatibility should match the engine build. Follow proper break-in and lubrication procedures for flat tappet camshaft installation, and confirm timing components are in serviceable condition before assembly.
