I need to sort the tappets out on my F reg E30, its a 325i because they are way too loud.
Are they manually adjusted tappets so i can sort them out with feeler gages or automatically adjusted tappets so id have to get new tappets?
Has anyone sorted out tappets on there's and could give me some advice?
I'm just a bit confused because i thought they were manual tappets but then iv read on a couple of sites that they arn't
Thanks
