The proper valve tappet may also be obtained by completing these steps:

IMPORTANT
The Valve Lash Specification and Measured Valve lash must be calculated in millimeters (mm) 3

1. Subtract the actual valve lash on the engine from the valve lash specification (i.e. 0.29 mm – 0.20 mm) = 0.09 mm.
2. Divide the 3 digit tappet number by 100 (i.e. 450 / 100) = 4.5 mm.
3. Add the results of step 1 and step 2 (i.e. 0.09 mm + 4.5 mm) = 4.59 mm.
4. Multiply that answer by 100 to obtain the correct new tappet (i.e. 4.59 mm x 100 = 459).
5. Refer to the table below to find the closest available tappet size to the result from step 4 (i. e. 459 should be
rounded to 460 since there is a 460 tappet).
