I've got a volkspares engine in my van 1.9DG
on the rocker cover its got a label saying manual tappits
does this mean i have solid lifters or do i treat them as the norm
if they are solid what clearance do i need for the rockers

many thanks Tony

Sorry but 25 thou is far too much they should be 6 thou (0.006") inlet and exhaust.
