taqué valve lifter

Definition / notes:	Also called a "valve follower"--the cylindrically shaped component that presses against the lobe of a camshaft and moves up and down as the cam lobe rotates. Most valve lifters have an oil-lubricated hardened face that slides on the cam lobe. So-called "roller lifters", however, have a small roller in contact with the cam lobe--thereby reducing the friction between the cam lobe and the lifter.
