Abstract
A self-container hydraulic valve lifter includes a lifter body slidably mounted in a lifter case, a free piston slidably mounted between the lifter body and the lifter case, a plunger slidably mounted in the lifter body and dividing an interior portion of the lifter body into a reservoir chamber and a pressure chamber, a check valve for allowing fluid flow from the reservoir chamber to the pressure chamber, and an operating chamber formed between the free piston and the lifter case and communicated with the reservoir chamber in order to decrease the diameter of the pressure chamber in comparison with that of the free piston.
