These properties help the tappet to maintain its durability in extreme duty situations. Although KPMI® recommends never running a camshaft off the edge of the tappet, this coating may help increase durability in these applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kibblewhite KPMI DLC Coated Hardened Steel Tappet, part number 82-86045, is designed for high-performance engine applications requiring durability and precision. Crafted from high-strength steel and coated with a durable diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, this tappet provides exceptional wear resistance and reduced friction to enhance engine longevity and efficiency. Its robust construction ensures consistent operation under demanding conditions, making it ideal for performance and racing engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an outer diameter of approximately 31.15mm, this tappet fits a variety of engine configurations that demand precise valve control. The DLC coating minimizes metal-to-metal contact, which reduces heat buildup and prolongs component life. Its hardened steel core guarantees structural integrity, even in high-stress environments. This tappet is engineered to deliver optimal performance, ensuring smooth valve operation and improved engine responsiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for ease of installation and compatibility with performance upgrades, the Kibblewhite KPMI DLC Coated Tappet is an essential component for enthusiasts seeking durability and enhanced engine performance.
