I saw this term in the book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and looked into it because it was an engine part I had never heard of. It seems this is an older term for the hydraulic lifters in an engine. These are the parts that ride on the camshaft and push the intake and exhaust valves open.
