Detailed Description

Melling VS-2280 is part of the Stock product line and is engineered for street and OEM replacement use where a standard valve spring specification is required. The spring is made from high alloy steel and uses a single-spring layout with an outside diameter of 0.85 and an inside diameter of 0.475. With a coil bind height of 0.85 and a spring open height of 1.062, this valve spring is specified for stock-style engine hardware service. This part cross-references 22221-2B001 for the same application. The VS-2280 is a practical choice for Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Forte engine service when the original spring specification needs to be matched.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or fatigued valve spring.
• Restoring valve control in stock engine service.
• Addressing inconsistent spring pressure in the valvetrain.
• Supporting repair work on Hyundai and Kia stock applications.
• Matching an OE-style spring specification during engine maintenance.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spring dimensions, pressure requirements, and valvetrain specifications before installation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s engine code and service data for the exact Hyundai or Kia model. The VS-2280 is listed for stock applications, so it should be matched to the original spring specification rather than performance-only setups.

Quality Assurance

Melling offers valve springs across standard, mid-range, heavy-duty, and race-ready applications, with multiple spring designs available for different service needs. The VS-2280 follows that product range as a standard replacement spring for stock use.
