  2. Hydraulic tappet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_tappet

    Oil under constant pressure is supplied to the lifter via an oil channel, through a small hole in the lifter body. When the engine valve is closed (lifter in a neutral position), the lifter is free to fill with oil. As the camshaft lobe enters the lift phase of its travel, it compresses the lifter piston, and a valve shuts the oil inlet.

  3. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappet

    A tappet or valve lifter is a valve train component which converts rotational motion into linear motion in activating a valve. It is most commonly found in internal combustion engines , where it converts the rotational motion of the camshaft into linear motion of intake and exhaust valves, either directly or indirectly.

    The government's estimates suggested the cap and other equipment were capturing less than half of the oil leaking from the sea floor as of late June. [24] On July 10, robots removed the containment cap to replace it with a better-fitting cap ("Top Hat Number 10"); this meant all of the leaking oil would escape until the new cap was in place. [25]
