The hydraulic tappets should not be adjusted.

Not strictly true :wink:

Esp if someone has been "at them"

Our wikki has a link that explains it all at = https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Hy ... _explained" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is assuming it has hydraulic tappets - the first thing to do is check if it has :wink:
