Saab Valve Lifters Tappet

2 items

A valve lifter transfers camshaft motion to the valve mechanism. Hydraulic roller lifters combine hydraulic lash adjustment with a roller that follows the camshaft. Match the engine's lifter design and any cylinder-deactivation equipment, such as AFM or MDS where fitted, along with the required set contents.

Valve Lifters And Tappets

A valve lifter transfers motion from the camshaft into the valve mechanism. Hydraulic and roller designs are used in different engine configurations; the correct lifter must match the engine and the way its valvetrain is built.

A-Premium listings include lifters for selected automotive and Harley-Davidson applications, with individual pieces and sets. Check the engine, cylinder-deactivation equipment where applicable and the quantity required for the repair.

Choosing Hydraulic Valve Lifters

Some engines use lifters designed for cylinder-deactivation systems. A listed HEMI lifter specifies an engine with MDS, while another is for an engine without MDS. A GM AFM set has its own application limits; the terms should not be treated as interchangeable part numbers.

A ticking sound or misfire can have several causes. Oil condition, the camshaft, lifters and other valve mechanism components may need inspection under the engine's diagnostic procedure before parts are selected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a hydraulic valve lifter always an AFM or MDS lifter?

Hydraulic operation and cylinder-deactivation capability describe different features. A hydraulic lifter is not automatically the correct AFM or MDS part; match the engine and the function identified in the listing.

Can an AFM lifter set be used in a DFM engine?

The specific A-Premium AFM set identifies Active Fuel Management applications and excludes later Dynamic Fuel Management engines. Check the engine and the selected kit's note; the restriction belongs to that product.

Does a valve lifter kit include guides?

Some do and some are listed as lifters only. The 16-piece A-Premium AFM listing identifies lifters and guides, while an eight-piece hydraulic roller listing identifies lifters. Check the parts included in the selected package.

Does a set of lifters always cover the entire engine?

The number in the package tells you how many pieces are supplied, not whether they cover every location in a particular engine. Match the kit to the engine and the repair scope.

Does an engine tick mean a valve lifter must be replaced?

A tick alone does not identify the failed part. A GM bulletin for specified AFM engines describes a possible lifter issue and also directs related checks, including camshaft inspection. Diagnose the actual engine before ordering.
