I have a set of new valve clearance compensating elements for my 87 SDL. The shop manual has a section on inspecting and renewing these items. It says to fill the tappet with oil after inspecting it. Seems like you have to have it apart to fill the chamber with oil.

Is there anything I have to do before installing new elements or I do I drop them in out of the box?

Thanks,
