Lash caps are also used/ called rotators or slow rotators. The valve is normally pressed down in this case just off the centre line and the cap acts as a thrust washer allowing the valve to rotate a small bit on each open/ close cycle. This is to dissipate heat evenly around the valve seat and wear evenly too. Some bigger engines have actual thrust bearings with balls.
