    eto ba yung tinatawag na valve clearance / valve lash??? you search the net for a service manual of ur car first. or go to www.autozone.com. meron sila jan manuals kaso html format.

    did mine a few months ago. corolla gl 91. downloaded instructions from autozone.com. you'll need basic tools and some special tools depending on the whether ur car have shims or adjusting screws only.

    kung screw type, kelangan mo ay screw driver, closed type wrench, and feeler gauge.

    kung shims kelangan mo ng micrometer at pambili ng bagong shims. or katulad ng ginawa ko, caliper at grinder lang hehehe

    kelangan mo din ng pang ikot ng crank shaft para mahanap ang top dead center.

    yung actual na pag adjust depende sa car mo. dito papasok yung service manual.

    adjusting the tappets is not something your should practice your diy skills on unless kampante ka. baka sumama lang takbo ng makina mo if you do it wrong.

    have them adjusted by a competent mechanic and you should get a smoother running engine with better power and gas milage.
