Tell you what, if you contact Mitsubishi parts @ Tuggereh or Gosford during the week and get a price and maybe order/buy part# MB991477 (tappet adjustment tool).
Then I will help you do your tappets next weekend or the weekend after and you can pay me by giving me the adjustment tool, then I can also help others later with the same issues :D
You can also then look at my quick release at the same time.
What ya rekon?
BTW I adjusted 4 different tappet sets last week so I'm all warmed up :lol:

Also depends on the availability of the adjustment tool :D

Went out to ZFL45H1s' dads house today and helped ZFL45H1 adjust his tappets. Awsome property overlooking a ginormous valley of the Wattagan mountains.
Got there at 9:15am and ZFL45H1 had already started pulling the top of the engine apart. His dad grinded one of my deep sockets into a tappet adjustment tool, then I got started on the tappets @ 12:00 and finished them @ 2:00pm. ZFL45H1 then put the engine back together while I scavanged through his wrecking FTO and grabbed plenty of spare parts :P . Job was finished @ 4:00pm and the engine started without anymore tappet noises :cheers: .
Great day and thanks to ZFL45H1 for the parts and ZFL45H1s' dad for supplying KFC and Jack Daniels and Coke premix cans :drunken: .
Some pics :D

Cheers
