INA US Engine Valve Lifter P/N:VT0052
Keep valve-train lash automatically in check with the INA US Engine Valve Lifter VT00031, an INA VTC hydraulic pivot element that serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E and the 1987-1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E. As a hydraulic lifter, it uses engine oil pressure to take up clearance in the valve train and transfer the camshaft's motion to the valve, helping maintain quiet, consistent operation.
Cataloged for the intake and exhaust positions — this component is used at both the intake and exhaust valves on the listed applications.
Tapping or clatter that rises from the top end, especially at cold start, can be a sign that a hydraulic lifter may need replacing — diagnose the cause before ordering.
