Its chrome silicon material, 1.575-inch installed height, 1.04-inch coil bind height, and 1.102-inch spring open height provide the measurements needed to match the valvetrain setup correctly. This part number, VS-1618, is listed for 2015-2017 Ford F-150 and 2012-2017 Ford Mustang stock applications, making it a relevant choice when servicing those engines. The VS-1618 is also cross-referenced to CR3Z 6513-A and RV-3715 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a worn or weakened valve spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper valve control in a hydraulic roller setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing inconsistent spring pressure during engine service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching a standard replacement spring specification during rebuild work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify installed height, coil bind height, and spring pressure against the engine build before installation.
