- hi, I'm just getting my evolvo ready for the road and was wondering what the tappers should be set to. I know how to adjust them etc but need the gauge depths. I will have pics uploaded soon once I've finished her. Thanks brendon

Re: Tappet adjustment!!!!!!
There are 3 standard fitment engines to the 300 range. It would be very helpfull to have teh engine details rather than just list out all the options.

Re: Tappet adjustment!!!!!!
I agree, most annoying people expect us to have model ESP!
Anyway the only one with tappets that really need adjusting is the 1.4.
I would say BTFM or you can get a cd for a few pounds or look up the Green book on this site for free:

Re: Tappet adjustment!!!!!!
Why would I want a whole manual when all I need is the settings. And yeah my mistake for not putting the engine size but I'm a mechanic and only need them settings everything else on these is straight forward. Have you ever tried not writing anything if its not positive????? If not the try it you might make friends
Re: Tappet adjustment!!!!!!
The 1.7's need adjusting too, just no one ever does as it's a bucket shim job. They run much nicer if looked at though.
