222262B401 Hyundai / KIA TAPPET, Price: 9.20$, Weight: 0.03kg

Valve lifter (tappet) for Hyundai–Kia engines ?

This solid bucket lifter keeps correct valve clearance (lash) between cam lobe and valve stem. Proper lash lets the camshaft open and close valves on time, giving smooth idle, clean emissions, strong power, and good fuel economy ⛽. It’s a must-have for quiet, long‑life valvetrain work.

How it works ?

The cam lobe rides on the hardened bucket surface. The lifter’s calibrated height sets lash precisely, so valves seal tight when closed and reach full lift when open. In these engines, clearance is adjusted by selecting the correct bucket thickness—no hydraulics to compensate automatically.

What happens if it fails ⚠️

Worn or wrong‑size lifter causes ticking, rough idle, loss of power, higher fuel use, and possible misfire. Too much lash can hammer the cam and seats; too little lash can hold a valve open and burn it. Severe wear risks cam scuffing and metal debris in the oil.

Tech tips for replacement ✅

• Measure hot/cold lash per service spec with a feeler gauge.
• Select correct bucket thickness; always oil the contact surface.
• Torque cam caps in sequence, rotate engine by hand, and recheck lash.
• Use clean oil and replace the filter after any valvetrain work.
