INA VT0046 Hydraulic Flat Tappet Valve Lifter

The INA VT0046 is a precision-engineered hydraulic flat tappet valve lifter designed to maintain optimal valve train operation in modern engines. This OE-quality replacement lifter automatically adjusts valve clearance through hydraulic pressure, eliminating the need for periodic manual adjustments while ensuring quiet operation and extended engine life.

Key Features:

• Hydraulic self-adjusting design maintains zero valve lash at all operating temperatures
• Precision-manufactured to OEM specifications for exact fit and function
• Engineered by INA, a division of the Schaeffler Group with over 70 years of bearing and valve train expertise
• Intake position application for proper valve timing and optimal engine performance
• Reduces valve train noise and wear compared to solid lifters
• Manufactured to strict quality standards for reliable, long-lasting performance

This hydraulic tappet contains an internal piston that fills with pressurized engine oil, acting as a hydraulic spring to automatically compensate for thermal expansion and valve train wear. The result is consistent valve operation, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved engine longevity. OEM part number cross-reference: 058109309F, 058109309B.

Note: Proper installation procedures must be followed according to manufacturer service bulletins. New hydraulic lifters should be pre-primed with clean engine oil and installed with appropriate assembly lubricant to ensure proper function upon startup.
