Hi, I would like to know what the tappet clearances are for my 2002 4.2lt turbo diesel ST Patrol. Both inlet and exhaust.

John,
To adjust the tappets, get number six cylinder valves rocking mark the valves from the front one to twelve, number one at the front of course and adjust the tappets 1,2,4,5,8 & 9 with a 0.35 mm feeler blade, turn the engine 360 degrees now the valves on number one cylinder should be rocking adjust valves 3,6,7,10,11 & 12 again with a 0.35 mm feeler blade. Hope this helps. Keep the shiny side up
