• Hydraulic roller camshaft type specification.
• Installed height of 1.85 in. (47.0 mm) and coil bind height of 1.27 in. (32.0 mm).
• Open pressure of 192.0 and installed pressure of 35.0 for controlled spring loading.
• Fits 2002-2008 Mini Cooper, stock application.

Detailed Description

Built for the Mini Cooper application listed below, this valve spring is part of Melling’s broad range of standard, heavy-duty, and race-oriented spring designs. The VS-2485 uses a single-spring layout with hardened steel construction, an inside diameter of 0.7 in. (18.0 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.014 in. (26.0 mm) to match the specified valvetrain geometry. The VS-2485 is intended for engines using a hydraulic roller camshaft and is suited to stock replacement needs where consistent spring pressure matters.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 11 34 1 485 590, 32-5022) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or weakened valve spring.
• Restoring proper valve control under engine operation.
• Addressing inconsistent spring pressure in the valvetrain.
• Supporting service work on a hydraulic roller camshaft setup.
• Maintaining stock-spec spring dimensions for the listed Mini Cooper fitment.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify installed height, coil bind clearance, and spring pressure against the engine’s specifications before installation. Confirm the hydraulic roller camshaft requirement and compare the spring dimensions to the original component to ensure proper valvetrain setup. Fitment is listed for 2002-2008 Mini Cooper, stock application.

Quality Assurance

Melling offers valve springs across standard, mid-range, heavy-duty, and race-ready categories, with multiple wire sizes, materials, and spring pressures available. The VS-2485 is a standard replacement part built to meet the listed application requirements.
