General Tappets

hi there all,

How do you adjust the tappets on a 1999 fiat seicento sporting?

Thanks DG

They don't "adjust", they are shims.
So you measure clearance, measure existing shim, swap for appropriately sized shim, check clearance again.

FIAT. But -- see your other post -- Fluffy will be cheaper.
