Specifications
Type
The mechanical tappets consist of a plate in cemented, phosphated steel in contact with the cam and used to adjust valve clearance.
TAPPETS
Specifications
Type
Each valve uses a hydraulic tappet operated by a rocker arm, in turn, moved by the camshaft.
The rocker arms are designed to prevent serious damage to the other engine components if the timing belt slips or breaks; in effect, as a result of pre-set fracture lines, the stresses caused through the contact of the valves with the pistons are absorbed.
