Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The part that rides on the cam lobe on cam-in-block engines is called a lifter. Choice B, timing belt, is incorrect as it is not related to pushrod engines. Choice C, valve, is also incorrect as it is a separate component that is operated by the lifter. Choice D, end thrust, is also unrelated to the lifter and instead refers to the force acting on the crankshaft in the direction of the engine's length.
