With a special tool called a feeler gauge remove the valve covers and one by one bring the cylinders up to top dead center (both valves are fully closed at this point) adjust to factory spec. All adjustments are done cold. If engine is very high miles reduce the clearances in specs by slight amount (.002") to the tight side to account for wear in the valve train parts.

wiki
The 1400 Bakkie was assembled by Nissan in Rosslyn, South Africa (Nissan)

1.4L engine a very small pickup truck and tiny obscure engine
that wiki fails to identify.
buy the manual for NISSAN.
it is not a diesel ,and this list is all 1.4L listed by maker,1.4L and in year range.
GA14DE DOHC, 2 CAMS? AND ROCKERS? 12VVALVES
The GA14DE does not have hydraulic lifters, so special shims are used to adjust the valve clearance.

CGA3DE DOHC, 1,4K Sold as but is 1.348L
data super hard to source on the engine.
one photo shows head cams over valve stems, no tappets at all
see photo, I see bucket lifter there, so are shims.

CR14DE, with vvt

The Nissan CR14DE motor does not have hydraulic lifters, so special valve lifters are used to adjust the valve clearance.

so knowing this engine fact and the exact one makes this more easy

lacking manual or engine name, i'd look first.

CDA3DE, FOR SALE, SEE THE BUCKETS , I DO.

The cam followers have the adjustment and have to be replaced. They don't have adjustable tappets as such. Note spelling 'tappets', not 'tuppets'.
