Detailed Description

The Melling VS-1282 valve spring is engineered as a standard replacement part for engines that need controlled valve motion and stable spring pressure. Its single-spring construction and specified installed and open pressures make it suitable for stock service as well as higher-demand applications where consistent valve control matters. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 32-1282, 051-282) for the same application. The VS-1282 is a practical choice for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth engines that require a direct-fit valve spring with defined dimensions and pressure characteristics.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a weak or fatigued valve spring.
• Restoring proper valve control and seat pressure.
• Addressing valve float caused by inconsistent spring force.
• Supporting stock engine service and performance rebuilds.
• Matching a standard replacement spring specification for service work.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify installed height, coil bind height, and spring pressure against the engine’s requirements before installation. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and intake or non-position fitment details listed for the vehicle. The VS-1282 is listed for multiple Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications, including Chrysler Intrepid, Dodge Caravan, and Eagle Vision fitments.

Quality Assurance

Melling positions the VS-1282 within a broad valve spring lineup that covers standard, mid-range, heavy-duty, and race-ready needs. The brand’s product range includes multiple spring designs and wire/material options to match different engine requirements.
