Detailed Description

The SRC-5 camshaft is part of Melling’s stock replacement line, developed for engines that need an OE-style cam profile rather than an aggressive performance grind. Its matched intake and exhaust specifications, including 0.425 valve lift and 196 degrees duration at .050 inch lift, support factory-style engine behavior while maintaining the requirements of the original application. This camshaft is a direct fit for many Jeep and American Motors engines, including Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Wagoneer, and AMC Matador applications. Part number SRC-5 is also referenced by several interchange numbers for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring worn camshaft lobes and valve timing behavior
• Replacing a camshaft that no longer matches stock engine requirements
• Addressing rough idle caused by camshaft wear
• Correcting reduced valve lift or inconsistent valve action
• Returning engine operation to OE-style specifications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, emissions notes, and application details before installation, especially for listed California emissions exceptions. Confirm hydraulic flat tappet compatibility, rocker arm ratio, and valve timing specifications against the engine build. Fitment includes Jeep and American Motors models across multiple years, so match the vehicle exactly to the catalog listing before ordering SRC-5.

Quality Assurance

Melling states that this stock replacement camshaft is developed, engineered, tested, and manufactured to high standards using quality materials. The part is made in the USA and built as an OE replacement camshaft for stock-style service.
