The proper valve tappet may be obtained by completing these steps:
1. Subtract the actual valve lash on the engine from the valve lash specifi cation (i.e. 0.27 mm – 0.20
mm) = 0.07 mm.
2. Divide the 3 digit tappet number by 100 (i.e. 520 / 100) = 5.2 mm.
3. Add the results of step 1 and step 2 (i.e. 0.07 mm + 5.2 mm) = 5.27 mm.
4. Multiply that answer by 100 to obtain the correct new tappet (i.e. 5.27 mm
×
100 = 527).
5. Refer to the table below to fi nd the closest available tappet size to the result from step 4 (i. e. 527
should be rounded to 528 since there is a 528 tappet).

IMPORTANT
The Valve Lash Specifi cation and Measured Valve lash must be calculated in millimeters (mm), A 480
tappet means the thickness of the tappet is 4.80 mm.
