The hydraulic compensator is needed to increase the power and resource of the car engine. Thanks to it, good traction and quiet operation of the engine are achieved. In addition, an economical fuel consumption is ensured.

Step 1
Modern autocars are not the same cars that were used 20 years ago. The design of today's vehicles is constantly being improved, new parts and devices appear to facilitate the repair and maintenance of the car. These new generation parts include hydraulic lifters.
Step 2
Hydraulic lifters are devices that can independently adjust the valve clearance. If you have experience in operating the "classics", then you will remember how you were forced to constantly adjust the engine valve: remove the valve cover, set gaps and use probes that are different in mileage. If such an adjustment was not made, then the engine of the car began to make noise, fuel consumption increased, and the dynamics characteristics decreased.
Step 3
Hydraulic lifters made it possible to significantly facilitate the operation of the car. Now there is no need to set the required engine valve clearance. A car improved by such a device acquires more power, a longer engine resource, which allows the mechanism to be extended for 120-150 thousand kilometers.
Step 4
The hydraulic compensator takes engine oil through a special ball valve. This oil begins to press on the piston of the device, increasing its height until the valve clearance in the gas distribution mechanism reaches a minimum value. More engine oil in your car will not flow into the hydraulic lifter - this is achieved due to the maximum compression limit. After the appearance of a depletion between the hydraulic compensator and the valve, the ball valve will open again and begin to pump oil into itself. Thus, in your car, the maximum pressure inside the hydraulic compensator will always be created, and the gap between the valve and the mechanism itself will be minimal.
Step 5
The hydraulic compensator mechanism provides good traction, economical fuel consumption, increased resource of the gas distribution system and quiet operation of the engine. But this device is not without its drawbacks: now you have to buy better quality oil, and in case of repairs, prepare for difficulties and significant costs. Some motorists are trying to install hydraulic lifters on a classic VAZ 2105-2107 engine, but I must say right away that this cannot be done without special knowledge. Moreover, you will need to change the camshaft in advance and stock up on the necessary tools.
