INA VT0225 Hydraulic Tappet 12mm Valve Lifter

The INA VT0225 hydraulic tappet (also called a valve lifter or cam follower) is an engine valve train component. It transfers motion from the camshaft to the valve and automatically compensates for valve clearance. INA is a well-known original equipment supplier of engine valve train parts.

Key Features:

• Hydraulic operation for automatic valve lash adjustment and quieter running
• Outer diameter: 12 mm (approx. 0.47 in)
• Height: approx. 33 mm (approx. 1.30 in)
• Cross-references to INA 420 0225 10
• Precision-machined for consistent valve timing

A worn or collapsed hydraulic tappet often causes a ticking noise at cold start, reduced performance and poor valve timing. Replacing it restores proper valve operation. Inspect the camshaft lobes for wear during installation, and change the engine oil and filter.
