Hearing a ticking or tapping noise from your engine that gets worse when it's cold? It might be a worn hydraulic lifter (also called a lash adjuster or tappet). This kit gives you a full set of 24 new lifters, which is what you need for most V6 and V8 engines from Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. It covers a massive range of models and engines from 2005-2019, including the common 3.6L Pentastar V6 and various Mercedes V8s. These lifters automatically take up slack in the valvetrain; when they wear out or get clogged with sludge, they can't maintain pressure, causing that annoying tick and potentially hurting performance. Replacing them is a more involved job (often requires removing the intake manifold and valve covers), but it can quiet a noisy engine and restore proper valve timing. These are steel construction and match OE specs, replacing part numbers like HT2313 and JB-7525. If you're tackling a valve train overhaul or chasing down a persistent tick, this is the kit you need. Double-check fitment for your specific engine code!
