Tappet Adjustment
PRICED FROM $345*+GST INCLUDING PARTS & LABOUR
An engine valve clearance adjustment (also known as a tappet adjustment) is vital to the health of your modern diesel engine.
This adjustment is often overlooked when it comes to engine maintenance; however, neglecting your valves could lead to a lot of unwanted hassles, such as loss of power, decreased fuel efficiency or even failure.
