222262B416 Hyundai / KIA TAPPET, Price: 9.20$, Weight: 0.03kg

Valve lifter (bucket tappet) for Hyundai & Kia engines ?️

This OE-grade bucket lifter keeps valve clearance precise, the cam running smooth, and the engine quiet. It’s needed when clearance drifts with mileage, after head work, or if you notice ticking, rough idle, or power loss. Fresh lifters restore correct lash, protect the cam, and keep compression stable for clean combustion and better fuel economy.

How it works ⚙️

The cam lobe rides directly on the hardened bucket surface. The bucket transfers lift to the valve stem while an oil film reduces friction and heat. In these non-hydraulic setups, the exact bucket height sets valve lash—crucial for high‑rev DOHC engines. Correct lash means quiet operation, strong low-end torque, and long valvetrain life.

What happens if it’s worn or damaged ❗

• Metallic tapping/ticking, especially on cold start ?
• Rough idle, misfire, and reduced power
• Higher fuel use and emissions
• Accelerated cam lobe and valve seat wear, metal debris
• Risk of burnt valves and costly engine repairs

Fitting tips ✅

• Measure lash with feeler gauges and select correct bucket size
• Inspect cam lobes; replace lifters in sets if scoring is present
• Pre‑lube with clean engine oil; keep the area spotless
• Torque caps to spec and recheck lash after warm-up
