INA VT0224 Hydraulic Tappet Valve Lifter

The INA VT0224 is a precision-engineered hydraulic tappet (also known as a hydraulic valve lifter or lash adjuster) designed to maintain optimal valve train operation in overhead cam engines. Manufactured by INA, part of the Schaeffler Group, this component automatically adjusts valve clearance to eliminate the need for manual adjustments while ensuring quiet, efficient engine performance.

Key Features:

• Precision steel construction with tight tolerances for reliable performance
• Automatic valve clearance adjustment maintains zero lash at all operating temperatures
• Reduces valve train noise and extends engine component life
• Eliminates the need for periodic valve adjustment service
• Designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures within the engine
• Direct OEM replacement quality with part number 4200224100

Hydraulic tappets work by using pressurized engine oil to automatically compensate for valve train thermal expansion and wear. This ensures consistent valve timing, quieter operation, and reduced maintenance requirements compared to solid lifters. INA hydraulic tappets are manufactured to OEM specifications and are commonly used in Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda engines.
