Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Feeler gauge
t  Wooden or plastic wedge
  Note!
t  The hydraulic cam followers should always be replaced in their entirety (they cannot be adjusted or repaired individually).
t  Unusual noises from the valves during starting are normal.
Verification process
–  Start the engine and run until the radiator ventilator starts once.
–  Increase speed to approx. 2500 rpm for 2 minutes.
If the hydraulic cam followers continue to make a noise check to see which one/s is/are faulty as follows:
–  Remove cylinder head cover → Chapter.
–  Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the cams of the followers to be checked are facing upwards.
–  Check the clearance between cams and followers.
–  If it is greater than 0.2 mm, replace the follower. If it is less than 0.1 mm or if there is no clearance , proceed as follows with the check:
   
–  Press the cam follower slightly downwards with a wooden or plastic wedge. If it is possible to insert a 0.2 mm thick feeler gauge between the camshaft and the follower, the latter should be replaced.
  Note!
After fitting new cam followers do not start the engine for approx. 30 minutes. The hydraulic compensation parts must settle (otherwise the valves would hit the pistons).
