## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.129 kg
-   77 applications across the V series
-   12 used per assembly

## 🔌 Function

Rides on the camshaft lobe and passes its lift up through the pushrod to the rocker gear.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Persistent tapping or clatter from the top of the engine
-   Noise that stays after the clearances are reset
-   Base of the tappet worn concave or pitted
-   Scuffing or picked-up metal on the body
-   Fine metal debris found in the oil or the filter

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Tappet 3856127 at 0.122 kg and tappet 3855987 for the GL and Gi engines at 0.127 kg sit within a few grams of this one, so weight will not separate them and the order must go by part number
-   Inspect the matching camshaft lobe before condemning the tappet on noise alone
-   Replace tappets as a set if the camshaft is being renewed
