Overview

Melling MPR-279 is a standard replacement engine push rod for select Ford and Mercury valve train applications. It is built in the USA from welded steel and uses ball ends at both tips for stock-style geometry.

This push rod is specified for applications that call for a 0.312-inch diameter and 6.804-inch length. The drilled design supports proper oiling in the valve train, and the part number MPR-279 is used across multiple OE-style replacement listings.

Key Features

  • Welded steel construction for standard replacement use
  • Ball end top and bottom tips for stock-style fitment
  • 0.312-inch diameter and 6.804-inch overall length
  • Drilled design for valve train oil passage
  • Made in the USA

Detailed Description

Melling MPR-279 is an engine push rod intended for stock replacement service in compatible Ford and Mercury overhead valve applications. The welded steel construction and ball-end tips match common OE-style valve train requirements, while the drilled body supports oil flow through the push rod. If you are replacing worn components in a Ford Mustang, Ford Bronco, or Mercury Comet application, MPR-279 provides the dimensions and construction needed for the correct valve train setup. The part number MPR-279 also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 74-6279, 192-1321) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a worn or bent push rod in stock valve train service
  • Restoring correct valve train geometry after component wear
  • Addressing noisy or inconsistent valvetrain operation caused by damaged push rods
  • Supporting proper oil passage through a drilled push rod design
  • Matching OE-style dimensions in compatible Ford and Mercury engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify push rod length, diameter, and tip style before installation. Melling recommends replacing push rods rather than reusing worn parts to maintain proper valve train geometry and performance. Confirm application notes carefully, including stock requirements and exclusions for hydraulic lifter setups where listed.

Quality Assurance

Melling builds this push rod to stringent manufacturing specifications using quality materials and processes. The part is made in the USA and is intended for standard replacement use in valve train service.
