PARTS DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
A tappet or lifter follows camshaft movement and transfers that motion through the valve train so the valves can open and close according to the engine timing design. For repair or replacement work, the C7.1 Tappet is offered as a matching solution for Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engine applications.
Because selection depends on diameter, height, contact geometry, oil passage design, and part number, confirming the exact configuration before installation is important. Where an OEM reference is listed, use it with the component and model information as a cross-check.
