Detailed Description

Melling MRK-653 is an engine rocker arm kit intended for stock replacement use in a broad range of Chevrolet and GMC applications from 1991 through 2000. The kit is centered around a steel, non-roller rocker arm with an adjustable design, and it is supplied with the correct hardware combinations needed for the specified engine application. That makes it a useful service part when rebuilding or refreshing a valve train and maintaining proper rocker arm setup is important. This part number, MRK-653, is listed for Chevrolet C2500, GMC C2500, and other compatible heavy-duty and commercial platforms in the fitment data.
