SBI VL114 Hydraulic Roller Valve Lifter — Ford Powerstroke

Restore reliable valvetrain operation on your 7.3L, 6.0L, or 6.4L Powerstroke with the SBI VL114 hydraulic roller lifter. Built as an OE-style replacement, it matches factory dimensions and is used in both intake and exhaust positions.

The SBI VL114 is a hydraulic roller valve lifter designed for Ford Powerstroke diesel engines. It follows OEM-style dimensions—0.920" body diameter and 2.602" overall length—so it seats correctly in the lifter bore and works with the factory cam and pushrod layout. SBI manufactures valvetrain components for professional rebuilders and engine shops. These are new lifters (not remanufactured) and are commonly used during in-frame or out-of-frame service when worn, collapsed, or noisy lifters need to be replaced. Sixteen lifters are required for a complete engine. Use them when rebuilding a 7.3L, 6.0L, or 6.4L Powerstroke, replacing a camshaft, or correcting ticking/collapsed-lifter symptoms. Always replace lifters as a complete set and follow proper priming and break-in procedures.
