Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine
Operation: Work on a hydraulic lifter

A hydraulic lifter is a device for maintaining zero valve clearance in an internal combustion engine. Conventional valve lifters require regular adjustment to maintain a small gap between the valve and its rocker arm. This gap prevents parts from binding as they expand with engine heat, but can also cause increased wear as parts collide with each other until they reach operating temperature. The hydraulic lift was designed to compensate for this small tolerance. The hydraulic lift, located between the camshaft and the valve of each engine, is a hollow steel cylinder that encloses an internal piston. To make a lifter solid you can proceed with small welding or disassembling the lifter so as to remove the internal spring and install the washers to occupy the space and prevent the lifter piston from compressing.
