Components with hydraulic valve lash adjustment

The engineers at INA were the pioneers in the market niche for low-maintenance valve trains in high-speed internal combustion engines � with direct valve activation by means of hydraulic tappets. the new concept passed its first test in 1974 when it was adopted by Mercedes Benz for volume usage in the 8-cylinder engines for its luxury class vehicles � not least because of the significantly lower exhaust emissions from the lash-free valve train. At the same time, Porsche proved in preproduction tests in a racing car (917) that very high speeds could be achieved with our valve trains.

Advantages of automatic valve lash adjustment:

Simple engine assembly
Maintenance-free throughout the operating life
Very quiet valve train
Consistently low exhaust emissions throughout the operating life
