Tappet Cap
- Thread starter BFB
- Start date
I ended up ordering a tappet tool remover for about $10. I will replace all the tappets with a hex top now.
If anyone wants to borrow the tool, I'll mail it to you its tiny will fit in a regular size envelope, and I imagine will only be a regualar stamp for postage. Just gotta mail it back :up:
Here is a picture of the tool, makes the job super easy.

I don't have mine installed in the tappet hole. I installed my accel 0-60 gel filled gauge in the oil pressure switch hole. I wanted easy access to clean out my tappet screen during oil changes without having to fuss with the gauge. Although I must say you guys have a nice set up.
