Except in very unusual situations, it is absolutely unnecessary to remove the cam and valve tappett if there is a defective hydraulic lifter. A ticky valve that disappears at higher rpm's may be that it just can't be heard whien the engine is making lots of noise.

Remove the lf wheel and fender apron and valve covers. Yoiu will be able to "feel" the ticky lifter with your fingers or find it with a listening stick or long screw driver.

If the valve is sticky form long storage, spray some WD40 or similar on the bottom of the guide
