Flashlight
When the tappet is dropped into the bottom trough, due
to the roundness of the trough most of the time, they will
fall over. However, if they do not, gently shake the
trough just enough to allow the tappet to fall over before
removing.
NOTE: Take special care when removing the Number 4
cylinder tappets to avoid knocking or shaking the
tappets over the tape barrier of the trough.
Carefully pull the trough and tappet from the cam bore
and remove the tappet. Repeat the process until all
tappets are removed.
Tappet Inspection
