The OM603 engine uses hydraulic lifters.

No lash. They can't be adjusted.

They get "adjusted" by using Mobil-1 5W-40 or 15W-50 synthetic oil, which often reduces or eliminates the 'tapping', if you have that problem. If that doesn't cure it, you can replace the lifters but they're not cheap.

If you're a new 1987 300D owner, read this:
