Detailed Description

The Melling VSR-700 valve spring retainer is a critical engine hardware component that helps maintain the geometry needed for proper valve train operation. Its 0.546-inch inside diameter, 1.152-inch outside diameter, and 0.317-inch thickness reflect the dimensions required for the listed stock applications. Use this retainer when servicing Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Mustang, Mazda B4000, or Mercury Mountaineer engines that call for this specification. The VSR-700 is intended for applications where the original retainer must be replaced with a standard replacement part that matches OEM-level requirements.

What It Is Used For
