Detailed description

The Melling VS-1615 valve spring is designed for engines that need a direct replacement spring with defined pressure and height specifications. It measures 0.484 in inside diameter, 0.798 in outside diameter, and 1.114 in coil bind height, making it a fitment-specific service part for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram platforms. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Melling’s valve spring line covers standard, mid-range, heavy-duty, and race-ready needs, with options that include standard and dual springs, dampers, and beehive designs. The VS-1615 reflects that product range in a standard replacement format for everyday engine service.

What it is used for

• Replacing a worn or weak valve spring that no longer holds proper pressure.
• Restoring valvetrain control when spring force has dropped from service wear.
• Addressing valve float concerns tied to incorrect spring pressure.
• Correcting spring-height or coil-bind mismatch during engine service.
• Supporting stock-style engine maintenance on listed Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles.

Installation notes and tips

Verify installed height, coil bind height, and open pressure against the engine’s service specifications before installation. Confirm the spring type and dimensions match the cylinder head and valvetrain setup on the specific application. Use the part number VS-1615 when checking service data or ordering replacement components.
