Lifter Valley Plate
An automotive lifter valley plate is a component found in engines with overhead valve configurations. The lifter valley plate is typically made of aluminum or steel and is located between the engine block and the intake manifold, covering the valley between the cylinder heads. The function of the lifter valley plate is to provide a seal and a surface for the intake manifold to rest on, as well as to provide support for the lifters and pushrods. The plate also helps to direct oil flow to the lifters and other engine components. The lifter valley plate is typically bolted to the engine block and can be removed for maintenance or repair purposes. Without a functioning lifter valley plate, the engine may experience oil leaks or improper oil flow to the lifters and other engine components, leading to increased wear and potentially catastrophic engine failure.
