A LIFTER (NOT A GOOD TERM, AS SOME ARE SOLID AND ARE MANUALLY ADJUSTED, AND THIS DOES CRAP BELOW WOULD NOT APPLY!)
I'M GONNA SORTA DISCUSS........MORE LIKE A "TAPPET" OR WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL A "HYDRAULIC LIFTER" IS A COMPLICATED LITTLE CHUNK OF METAL(S)....IT WORKS ON THE LINES OF A HYDRAULIC JACK LIFTING AND LETTING DOWN.....BUT IN BETWEEN, IT RE-ADJUSTS ON EVERY DOWN STROKE IT MAKES
.....NORMALLY AFTER A "CORRECT, INITIAL SET UP" THEY NEED NO ADJUSTING AND LAST MOST, IF NOT THE ENGINE'S LIFE, IF SERVICES/MAINTENANCE ARE DONE ON SCHEDULE. THE OIL'S CLEANLINESS IS A BIG FACTOR......THERE ARE ALSO THOSE: IT'S MECHANICAL,...THINGS DO MESS UP FOR NO REASON, OR SO IT SEEMS!
