This specific lifter is designed for the Ford Focus I models manufactured between 1998 and 2004, specifically for 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines. Always verify compatibility with your exact vehicle details before purchasing.
The tappet lifter, also known as a valve lifter or bucket, is part of the valve train. It sits between the camshaft and the valves, transferring the camshaft's motion to open the valves while maintaining zero clearance (lash) in the system.
OE-matching quality ensures that the part meets the original manufacturer's specifications for fit, form, and function, which is critical for the precise operation of an engine's valve train.
Valve tappet lifters are typically replaced only when they fail or show signs of wear, such as excessive noise or improper valve operation. They are not a routine maintenance item.

Installation: Installation of a valve tappet lifter should only be performed by a qualified mechanic. This process typically involves disassembling parts of the engine's cylinder head, which requires specialized tools and knowledge to ensure correct timing and reassembly. Incorrect installation can lead to severe engine damage.
Care: Valve tappet lifters are internal engine components and do not require direct user care. Their longevity is primarily dependent on the overall maintenance of the engine, including regular oil changes with the correct type and grade of engine oil. Using high-quality oil helps to ensure proper lubrication and prevent premature wear of the tappet lifters and other valvetrain components.
Maintenance: Regular engine servicing, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, is the best way to maintain the health of the valve train components.
