Default 95 Laser - Adjustable tappets?

Hi all,

I've just picked up a 1995 Laser Ghia with a 1.8 & 5 spd manual. There seems to be a bit of top end rattle/ticking at idle.

Are the tappets adjustable on these, or are they a bucket on shim arrangement?

It has been sitting for several months and was mine for the towing cost so I'm not expecting things to be perfect!

Cheers,

Russ

Disregard my post ladies and gents! I got the car home yesterday afternoon and on removing the oil filler cap I can see that the top end is bucket on shim.

I need to remove the cam cover and try and see where my ticking noise is coming from.
