I can't find a dang thing with that number. I've got a few emails out to manufacturers, though.

Zilla donates it to the cause.

I have 7.96" as the length. They manufacture them in .050" increments, so we'll probably have 7.95" finished length to insure the valves fully close. 0.01 will have no effect on performance.

.311" ball diameter
.097" oil hole
.345" tube diameter

No calipers at work long enough for overall length. I did what I could combining two measurements from a mark and got 7.965" Account for not being able to hold the calipers perfectly straight and still get a measurement from the end to the mark, I think 7.95" is a good measurement.

They said MPR is not part of their nomenclature.
