Melling AMC 3.8L, 4.2L Stock Replacement Camshaft Lifter Kit

$309.59

This Melling Camshaft & Lifter Kit is a stock-style replacement camshaft and lifter kit for select Full Size Jeeps equipped with AMC 232 3.8L and 258 4.2L inline 6-cylinder engines. This kit is a great option when rebuilding or refreshing the original inline-six engine in your Wagoneer, Cherokee, or J-Series Truck.

Kit includes the camshaft and matching hydraulic flat tappet lifters, helping restore proper valve timing, smooth engine operation, and dependable stock-style performance. This is not an aggressive performance camshaft. It is designed for customers looking to maintain original-style drivability, idle quality, vacuum, and low-end power.

This kit is also a practical replacement option for discontinued camshaft and lifter kits such as Omix 17420.01, depending on the exact engine and application.

Features:

  • Manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications
  • Helps ensure proper valve timing, smooth engine operation, and dependable stock-style performance
  • Includes lifters designed to work correctly with the camshaft profile
  • Helps eliminate compatibility issues caused by mismatched camshaft and lifter components
  • Constructed from wear-resistant alloys for excellent durability and long service life
  • Built to perform under high operating temperatures and engine loads
  • Precision-ground and polished contact surfaces help reduce friction between the lifter and camshaft
  • Helps prevent scuffing and extend camshaft life
  • Designed for proper oil metering and oil retention
  • Helps maintain adequate lubrication at startup and during operation, reducing noise and wear
  • Hydraulic lifter design helps maintain consistent valve lash
  • Helps minimize valvetrain noise while improving engine smoothness and drivability
  • Engine-specific design provides proper fit and function
  • Designed for installation with no modifications required
  •
