Pushrod And Tappet at Charlotte Revell blog

Pushrod And Tappet. An overhead valve engine, abbreviated (ohv) and sometimes called a pushrod engine, is a piston engine whose valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. As the crankshaft rotates, each valve is opened by means of a tappet, pushrod and rocker arm. 8 stud and 9 stud cylinders have different stud. As rpms go up, so does the need for stiffer valve springs, stiffer pushrods and lighter valvetrain components (valves, retainers and rockers). In some designs the cams act directly on short levers, called fingers. The valve is closed by spring pressure. The center is about.001 to.002˝ higher than the edge. With “flat tappet” pushrod engines, the bottoms of the lifters appear to be flat. But actually on most applications the bottoms of the lifters are slightly convex. 12.29 illustrates the valvetrain with pushrod and tappet driven by the camshaft located at the lower part of small engines. Also, the lobes on flat tappet cams are not perfectly flat but have a slight taper (.0007 to.002˝) to one side. 750 pushrod tubes are shorter than 650 tubes. Install a hotter cam with more lift and duration for more power, and you also have to upgrade the valve springs and pushrods to handle the higher engine speeds and loads.
