anyone know what the gap is on the tappets on a 2.0l air cooled

If you got the original hydraulic lifters there isn't one as such.

hmmm not sure now i didnt know they did hydrolic tappets on a pushrod engine,i did see the adjusters on the rocker arm when i took off the rocker cover

Maybe you should buy a Haynes manual?

Hydraulic lifter. Sits under the push-rod.





If your engine has had solid lifters fitted then refer to the wiki.

Most people call rockers tappets.. it's a common mistake with flat four engines
