Benefits of 22226-2G001 VALVE LIFTER
Choosing this specific mechanical lifter is vital for the long-term health of your engine’s camshaft and intake/exhaust valves. Because Theta II engines utilize a “shimless” design, selecting a premium lifter prevents “valve ticking” noise and ensures the engine maintains correct compression across all cylinders. Proper engine lubrication is key; therefore, we strongly recommend browsing our Fully Synthetic Oils to maintain the structural integrity of the lifter’s contact face.
Check Engine Fitment Verification
Theta II engine lifters are available in dozens of specific thickness grades (thickness codes). To ensure the 22226-2G001 VALVE LIFTER matches your current valve lash requirements, please contact us for professional verification using your chassis number.
