Detailed Description

Melling MPR-389 is an engine push rod designed around OE-style dimensions and materials for stock valve train setups.

This part number, MPR-389, is used across many classic GM and Ford applications, including Buick Regal, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Pontiac Grand Prix fitments.

Melling states that its push rods are manufactured to strict specifications and that new push rods should be installed during service to preserve valve train geometry and performance.
