[TR] tappets

[Terry Geiger]

Roller rockers are quieter but a certain amount of tappet noise is to be 
expected from a TR engine, especially when compared to a modern vehicle.

TR engines are a solid tappet design, whereas most modern vehicles that use 
tappets utilize some form of hydraulic dampening to eliminate the noise and 
the need for frequent valve adjustments.
