General
Engine M132 is equipped with mechanical cup tappets.
The mechanical stress on the cams and cup tappets
makes it necessary to check and adjust the valve clea-
rance.
The cup tappets must be measured using a micro-
meter.
Find and insert the appropriate cup tappet by refer-
ence to its markings.
The valve clearance is adjusted by exchanging the cup
tappets. These are available in various thicknesses.
