Test sequence
–  Start engine and run until engine oil temperature is min. 80 °C.
–  Increase engine speed to about 2500 rpm for approx. 2 minutes.
If the hydraulic tappets are still noisy, locate defective tappets as follows:
–  Remove cylinder head cover.
–  Rotate crankshaft clockwise, until cam of the tappet to be checked is pointing upwards.
–  Determine play between cam and bucket tappet.
–  If the play is in excess of 0.1 mm, renew bucket tappet. If the play is less than 0.1 mm or no play, proceed with check as follows:
   
–  Press tappet down with a wooden or plastic wedge. If free travel in excess of 1 mm is felt before tappet contacts valve, renew tappet.
  Note!
After installing new tappets the engine must not be started for approx. 30 minutes. Hydraulic compensation elements must settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).
