Feed tappet installation tool down tappet bore (6) and into trough (3).

To aid in removing the installation tool after the tappet is installed,
work the tool in and out of the tappet several times before
installing the tappets.
6.
Insert tappet installation tool into tappet (1).
NOTE
If it is difficult to get the tappet to make the bend from the trough
up to the tappet bore, pull the trough out enough to allow the
tappet to drop down and align itself; then, pull the tappet up into
the bore.
