 In the middle of changing the tapprts. Hydraulic type. 190e 1989. I am primeing the tappets with oil. How far do I depress the ball bearing at the bottom of the tappet? Do I press it all the way down so it clicks? I have done this by accident with one of them. When they are primed are you supposed to be able to physically press the with your fingers or are they supposed to be very hard?
Please answer as soon as poss please as the only reason I have stopped is that rain has stopped play......Thanks..Woz

Oh well, the rain has stopped and I will have to take the opportunity and finish the job, right or wrong!!
