Re: How can you adjust the lifters 1993 ford festiva
This car uses hydraulic lifters. If your lifter is tapping, make sure the nut is tight on the rocker arm. If it still taps, the lifter has failed and must be replaced.

If its a cable operated shifter (column or console) you may be able to adjust at the end of the cable where it attaches to the sector lever on the trans.
the brakes may adjust themselves if you back up quick and slam on brakes several times, they are self adjusting, however some get junk all over them or rust so this wont work, if so there should be a little slot (maybe with a rubber grommett covering it, and you can adjust with a brake tool or good screwdriver if you are patient..
They are self adjusting. There should be hydraulic lash adjusters. Just tighten down the camshaft and start it. If you installed new lifters, they need to be soaked in oil before installing or they will be full of air and the car probably won't start. Hope this is what you were looking for.
The best cure without removeing the engine or head is to change your oil and use a 0w30 synthetic oil in the engine,if this gets rid of the noise then your good to go,if not you need to replace the lifters or have a blockage in an oil gallery.Try new oil first,the later will not be cheap to repair.
