292326-16
Overview:
The Melling High Performance Hydraulic Roller Lifters are engineered to deliver reliable valve train performance for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines. Designed for enthusiasts and professional builders seeking enhanced durability and efficiency, these lifters ensure smooth and quiet operation while supporting high RPM capabilities.
Manufactured in the USA, this lifter set is ideal for those upgrading or maintaining their engine’s valve train with components that offer superior wear resistance and precise oiling. Melling’s hydraulic roller lifters are a trusted choice for performance builds and daily drivers alike, providing dependable operation under demanding conditions.
Key Features:
These lifters incorporate advanced engineering and premium materials to optimize valve train function and longevity. Key features include:
- Cold forged steel body, heat treated for exceptional wear resistance and durability
- Precision ground needle roller bearing with a high chromium steel axle to minimize friction and extend service life
- Cold forged extra-long piston, precision ground and fitted for controlled leak down and pump-up performance
- High flow disc-style quick reacting check valve for improved response at higher engine speeds
- Precision oil metering system that ensures proper lubrication to rocker arms without sacrificing oil pressure
- Proprietary tie-bar system for enhanced stability and alignment
- Available with short travel, variable duration lift, and axle oiling features for tailored performance
- Improved OEM design specifically for non-MDS Gen 3 HEMI blocks
- Requires use of longer than original equipment push rods for proper fitment and function
Construction & Design:
The Melling hydraulic roller lifters are constructed from cold forged steel for the body, ensuring strength and resistance to wear under high stress. The piston is crafted from chromium steel, providing excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. The needle roller bearing is precision ground and supported by a high chromium steel axle, which reduces friction and enhances durability. This meticulous construction guarantees a long service life and consistent performance in demanding engine environments.
Attention to detail in the design includes a high flow check valve and precision oil metering, which work together to maintain optimal lubrication and quick lifter response. The proprietary tie-bar system maintains lifter alignment and stability, critical for high RPM operation and valve train reliability.
Installation & Fitment:
These lifters are designed to fit a broad range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles from model years 2002 through 2026, covering popular models such as the Chrysler 300, Dodge Ram, Durango, Charger, Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Wagoneer, and Ram 1500/2500/3500 trucks. They are compatible with engines including the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk variants.
Installation requires the use of push rods longer than the original equipment to ensure proper valve train geometry and lifter function. Professional installation is recommended to verify correct fitment and adjustment, especially when upgrading from stock lifters or modifying engine components.
What's Included:
- Complete set of high performance hydraulic roller lifters
- Proprietary tie-bar system integrated with lifters
- Installation instructions and specifications (where applicable)
Ideal For:
This lifter set is perfect for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and mechanics upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines that require durable, high-quality hydraulic roller lifters. Whether for street performance, towing, or mild racing applications, these lifters provide reliable valve train operation and enhanced longevity.
