Talk:Tappet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Image
I added the image of the camdrive in my car, but I'm not completely sure that this is the right image to use here. My car repair handbook calls these things valve lifters, but reading this article on tappets, it does seem that it is what the term tappet should refer to. The specific part I'm referring to is the metallic cylinder that sits between the actual cam lobe and the valve stem itself (the latter of which obviously isn't visible in the image, as the tappet covers it) in order to take up the sideways friction of the moving cam lobe (or at least that is what I'm assuming is its purpose). --Dolda2000 23:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The picture shows a lot of complicated parts. It would be nice to have a simple drawing with the tappet(s) clearly labeled. -- Beland 08:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
