Engine Exhaust Valve for Neon and Stratus

DJ Rock EV149 is a nitride-coated engine exhaust valve built for direct-fit replacement in select Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth applications. It is engineered for the exhaust side of the valvetrain, where heat resistance, sealing accuracy, and stable stem dimensions matter most.

Fits 1995-2005 Dodge Neon, exhaust; 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, exhaust; 1995-2001 Plymouth Neon, exhaust; 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, exhaust; 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, exhaust; and 1996-2000 Plymouth Breeze, exhaust.

Key Features

• Nitride-coated exhaust valve surface for improved wear resistance and corrosion protection
• 28.7 mm valve head diameter
• 117.2 mm overall length
• 6 mm stem diameter
• Single lock groove design
• Premium-grade replacement part for valvetrain service
• Direct-fit application-specific design for listed vehicles

Detailed Description

The DJ Rock EV149 exhaust valve is designed to control the release of burned gases from the combustion chamber into the exhaust system. Its nitride-coated finish helps the valve withstand high exhaust temperatures while reducing friction and supporting long-term dimensional stability. The 28.7 mm head diameter, 6 mm stem diameter, and 117.2 mm overall length are specified for the listed applications, making this part a precise replacement for service work on the valvetrain. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., V-4486, V1742) for the same application.

Use EV149 when servicing exhaust valve wear on Dodge Neon, Chrysler Neon, Plymouth Neon, Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus, or Plymouth Breeze engines that match the listed specifications. The part number EV149 is also useful when matching catalog references during engine repair or rebuild work.

What It Helps Address

• Exhaust valve leakage caused by worn sealing surfaces
• Valve wear from prolonged high-temperature operation
• Corrosion or surface damage on the valve stem and head
• Loss of compression related to exhaust valve condition
• Valvetrain service needs during cylinder head repair or rebuild

Installation Notes

Verify valve head diameter, stem diameter, overall length, and lock groove count before installation. Match the exhaust-side application exactly to the vehicle and engine configuration listed in the fitment data. Clean the valve seat and inspect related valvetrain components, including guides and stem seals, before assembly. Professional cylinder head service procedures are recommended for proper fit and sealing.

Quality Assurance

DJ Rock specifies this exhaust valve as a premium replacement built to meet or exceed OEM quality standards. The nitride-coated construction and heat-resistant material selection are intended to support durability in demanding exhaust-valve service.
