Detailed Description

Melling V1329 is an exhaust valve engineered for stock engine rebuilds and maintenance work where correct dimensions and material strength matter. The steel body, coated finish, and high-heat exhaust-valve design help it handle the thermal load common to exhaust service. This part number, V1329, is used in many classic Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications, including Dodge Charger, Dodge Dart, and Plymouth Fury fitments listed below. If you are sourcing V1329 for a restoration or engine refresh, the listed dimensions and seat angle help confirm proper valve train compatibility.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition S2505 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or heat-damaged exhaust valves.
• Loss of sealing at the valve seat.
• Valve train service during engine rebuilds.
• Replacement needs for stock-spec cylinder head work.
• Dimensional mismatch when restoring original valve train geometry.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify valve head diameter, stem diameter, length, and seat angle against the cylinder head before installation. Confirm the application by engine code and cylinder head specifications, especially on older Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth platforms. Professional machine-shop inspection and valve seat checking are recommended during engine service.

Quality Assurance

Melling states that its exhaust valves are produced with precision engineering, selected alloy materials, and advanced manufacturing processes to meet demanding performance and durability requirements.
