Have you tried typing "tappet adjustment" into the search box? Or http://www.ratwell.com/technical/HydraulicLifters.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Robs suggestion is the best guide to adjustment.
Although the hydraulic lifter or "tappet" is self adjusting it needs to be adjusted correctly to do it's job of self adjusting .. if you follow.

But another good thread is with CJH and his "1.9 to 2.1 am I being stupid" thread
