Tappets while I'm waiting.
I'm reusing the tappets that come with the broken DJ, I would fit new but a few accounts of problems with new ( also they are a different design) I'm going to stick with the old ones, also it's a used cam so again better not to fit new tappets which may increase wear. Unfortunately I have no idea which tappet ran on which cam.
I already dismantled and cleaned them all when I got them because they were sprayed with water in the garage fire and I needed to stop any rust forming.
This is actually a spare tappet that I did to practise before doing the others because it's been a while, mostly in Haynes but here goes...
If they are partially drained the clip usually comes out easy, if they are brim full you may need to use a vice to compress to get the clip out ( see later pics)
Finger on the clip at all times unless you like crawling around on your hands and knees.

Something like a drill bit shaft will pull the socket out

The plunger can be hard to get out, it is fighting vacuum in the chamber below but I find a large screwdriver does it well, you may need to press the ball valve down half way.

add socket, I off set the hole in the socket with the hole in body because that's how the Bentley manual shows it ( unless it's a bad drawing missing the hole in socket) I have no idea if it makes any difference?

Into a vice with hole facing up I have a button head M8 which I have filed the head down so the pushrod seat in the socket does not get damaged.

Tighten the vice until you can just get the clip in, finger on clip at all times
