BCBC VS-960 Engine Valve Spring

Engine Valve Spring Overview

Melling VS-960 is a standard replacement engine valve spring for stock applications that need consistent valve control. It is built for a wide range of Ford and International trucks and utility vehicles, including Ford F-350 and International Scout 80 applications.

This valve spring uses corrosion-resistant steel and a dual-spring design to support stable operation under stock conditions. The VS-960 part number is used across many older and later heavy-duty applications, making it a practical match for engine service work on Ford F-250, Ford E-350 Econoline, and International 4700 platforms.

• Corrosion-resistant steel construction for durability in engine service
• Dual spring design for controlled valve motion
• Standard replacement grade for stock applications
• Open pressure rated at 197.0 for consistent spring load
• Fits a broad range of Ford and International gasoline and diesel truck platforms

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent valve spring pressure in stock engine service
• Valve control concerns during routine engine rebuild work
• Wear-related replacement needs in older Ford and International engines
• Spring selection for standard replacement applications

Installation Notes

Verify engine specifications and valve train requirements before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Match the spring dimensions and pressure rating to the engine build, and confirm the application against the vehicle's stock configuration.

Quality Assurance

Melling offers valve springs across standard, heavy-duty, and race-ready categories, with multiple wire sizes, materials, and spring pressures available. VS-960 is a standard replacement spring built for stock service requirements.
