Default Re: Noisy Valves

The tappets can be changed with the block in the car. You are correct that the camshaft and pan along with the radiator and a few other things must be removed. It is easier to remove the head also as that helps when removing and replacing valve springs. The trick is to hold the tappets up when the cam is removed. I have use o-rings and the old fashioned wooden clothing pins to hold the tappets up.
