They do have tappets...

they are set using a feeler guage, im not sure what the guage setting is, but its the same for all of them.....

basically just set them and it gets rid of the ticking noise coming from your motor.....

technically "tappets" should only refer to clearances on lifters.... not when the clearance is set from directly off the valve rocker arm.

Anyway... you now have what you need so I wont confuse you by telling you in thou

:D
