these cars are NOtT equipped not hydraulic lash adjusters they are solid like motorcycle bucket style and valve lash will need to be measured and brought into spec if they are off. You will replace the entire tappet should the clearance be incorrect. this is NOT a DIY task. It requires a thorough understanding of the engine and a proper feel for clearances using feeler guages. to within a hundreth of a MM.
