This document is a single-page exploded parts diagram from Mitchell Repair Information Company (printed February 13, 2004, © 2003) labeled 'Fig. 4: Exploded View of Valve Lifter Assembly' for a 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. The header indicates it applies to the 5.0L V8 (VIN code F) and 5.0L HO V8 (VIN code M) engines. The line drawing shows a hydraulic valve lifter (tappet) disassembled along its axis, with arrows identifying nine components in assembly order: the lock ring and push rod cup at the top, followed by the metering valve disc, the plunger, the check valve, the check valve spring, the check valve retainer, the plunger spring, and finally the tappet body that houses the internals. A reader can learn the internal construction of the hydraulic lifter and the correct order and orientation of parts for disassembly, inspection, cleaning, or reassembly. No torque specifications, part numbers, or measurements appear on this page — it is purely an identification/orientation diagram. It is part of an album that also includes an engine oiling circuit diagram, suggesting it accompanies valvetrain/lubrication service information.
