   Engine sounds like a corsa, tapety? If that makes sense lol
   Any one know the right measurements when adjusting the rockers/tappets? (using a feeler gauge) ie the gap between the rocker and the top of the valve.
   
   Also any advice on how to adjust these is welcome
   
   
   EDIT: Just been reading thru old threads, there self adjusting hydraulic? Is this right?

   inlet 0.2 out 0.4 ,if you dont know the order to do them the ones at the front are out.just turn the cam so the heel is opposite the tappet.
