Benefits of 22226-3CCA0 TAPPET VALVE

Choosing this specific mechanical tappet is vital for the long-term health of your engine’s camshaft and valves. Because Lambda II GDI engines operate at high thermal loads, selecting a premium lifter prevents “valve ticking” and ensures the engine maintains correct compression across all cylinders. Proper lubrication is key; therefore, we strongly recommend browsing our Fully Synthetic Oils to maintain the structural integrity of the tappet surface.

Check Engine Fitment Verification

Tappets are available in dozens of specific thickness grades (thickness codes). To ensure the 22226-3CCA0 TAPPET VALVE matches your engine’s current clearance requirements, please contact us for professional verification using your chassis number.
