Tappet
A tappet (cam follower) from the cylinder barrel and tappet block area of the engine, listed under part number 70-8917.
70-8917 is a tappet listed under the cylinder barrel, push rods and tubes, and tappet block sections of the parts books. The tappet is the follower that rides on the cam and transmits lift up through the push rod to the rocker, so this part sits down inside the tappet block at the base of the cylinder barrel where the cam lobes do their work.
