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.....

thanks... sorry i didnt know that it was also called valve clearances.

I didnt know what the hell a "tappet" was up untill about 15 years ago either !!!!!

always known it as valve clearance, valves, lifters ( hydrolic / solid ), push rods, rockers, roller rockers.......
you name it ............. but "tappets" .... WTF

guess its just a case of who taught ya !

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
